Two “must reads” I recommend for parents are:
Children: The Challenge by Rudolf Dreikers
Presents no-nonsense advice and techniques for dealing with many misbehaviors using natural and logical consequences.
P.E.T. Parent Effectiveness Training by Thomas Gordon
Addresses issues of family communication, conflict resolution, and raising responsible children without shame or punishment.
Some other great books to take a look at:
Redirecting Children’s Behavior by Kathryn J. Kvols
Provides many techniques to guide families to become close, cooperative, and respectful. Provides great ways to set limits in positive ways. Helps solve the “mystery” of why children misbehave.
Discipline Without Tears by Rudolf Dreikers
Stresses encouragement, cooperation, and disciplining children lovingly and effectively.
Raising Your Spirited Child by Mary Sheedy Kurcinka
Very good for “strong willed” children. Provides specific tool to work with “spirited” children.
Guiding Young Children by Eleanor Reynolds
Practical problem solving techniques that exclude the use of punishment, blame, or guilt. Presents techniques for developing listening skills, negotiation, conflict resolution, and setting limits.
Discipline That Works by Thomas Gordon
Provides evidence that punitive discipline and punishment are harmful to children and are ineffective as a means to fostering children’s good behavior. Provides strategies to help children control their own behavior.
Run far away from anything by James Dobson. He offers abusive advice. He claims that his techniques will teach your children to love, respect and obey you, but in reality it only teaches them to fear you.
Hope this helps! Happy reading!

Positive Discipline For Preschoolers By Jane Nelsen, Cheryl Erwin & Roslyn Duffy
Survival Tips For Working Moms By Linda Goodman Pillsbury
Without Spanking or Spoiling By Elizabeth Crary
Win The Whining War By Cynthia Whitham (really funny)
Siblings Without Rivalry By Adele Faber & Elaine Mazlish (haven't read this one yet, I bought it this morning)
I like them all, because I get different ideas from them. I actually enjoy having a laugh at some of the examples. I own way too many parenting books!

I like "Kids Are Worth It' by Barbara Coloroso, and also "Secrets of Discipline" by Ronald Moorish.
The approach to me seems like a good one.

"Getting It acceptable With little ones" by employing Madlyn rapid is an incredible one (regardless of the condescending call) for procuring a sturdy attitude and conserving your integrity in tact on a similar time as coaching your little ones what they ought to be attentive to. She has different books besides.
