Book Summary

Dr. Sal Severe maintains that "children learn what they live...your children do as you do." How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too! is based on his belief that a child's behavior is often a reflection of the parents' behavior. Instead of focusing on what children do wrong, this book teaches parents what they can do right, by focusing on the positive--reinforcing the good behavior instead of criticizing the child, being consistent--not giving in to misbehavior just to placate the child, and being more patient--recognizing that children operate on a different time schedule. Based on stories, ideas, and solutions from the more than 20,000 parents who have attended Dr. Severe's workshops, How to Behave So Your Children Will, Too! is a book that will entertain, comfort, and make parenting simpler and more enjoyable.

Dr. Severe has spent the last 25 years working with behavior disordered children, as a teacher, counselor, principal, school psychologist, and director of special education. In How to Behave So Your Children Will,Too!, he combines expertise with his own brand of practical, easy-to-follow advice that teaches parents how to be consistent, manage their anger, prevent arguments and power struggles, and make discipline simple, making their lives easier. In the 1960s, Dr. Spock revolutionized the way parents raised their children. Now, Dr. Sal Severe is destined to become the next guru of child-rearing for parents, grandchildren, and children.

First published around April 1997. Republished in 2000.

Book Reviews


 The New York Daily News
This book gives parents the confidence they need to practice self-discipline, patience, and constancy in order to raise well-behaved children.

 Robert Brooks, Ph.D. Diplomate in Clinical Psychology Faculty, Harvard Medical School Author, The Self Esteem Teacher
Your book is wonderful. Not only does it contain a wealth of very sensible and realistic information about parenting but, in addition, your style of writing makes it a pleasure to read. Your respect for children and parents is apparent on every page as is your warmth and sense of humor.

 John Bradshaw, New York Times Best-selling Author, Bradshaw On The Family
This book speaks to the heart of the family system-the parents. Parents must behave so their children will, too!

 Neil Aaron, M.D., F.A.A.P. Pediatrician
This book is concise yet comprehensive. My wife and I use the ideas with our own children. The techniques work. Whenever a parent asks me about child misbehavior, this is the book I recommend.

 Jack Canfield, New York Times Best-selling Author, Chicken Soup for the Soul.
I found this to be a very valuable book. It has helped me immensely with my children.
