In HIGH FIVE DISCIPLINE, mom and practicing pediatrician Dr. Candice Jones shows parents a better way. This positive parenting guide helps parents understand child development and how the ways that children are disciplined shapes not only their behavior but their overall health and well-being.

Dr. Jones coaches parents to understand their child’s developmental stages and their own motivations to create a family discipline plan that manages misbehavior and encourages good behavior. Her advice is packed with developmentally appropriate strategies to tame tantrums, stop sibling squabbles, and reward better behavior, to create a calmer, more harmonious home.
