Dianne has taught behavior modification techniques to parents and teachers for over fifteen years and has been a parent for over six.

Surrounded by parent-child relationships in both personal and professional settings, Dianne noticed familiar patterns in behaviors of both children and parents. She formulated a simple plan that teaches parents to effectively set limits, and this book is the result. It is a resource for parents of children between 2-6 years of age, and is designed to give parents a plan of action to stop a child from misbehaving.
