I think positive reinforcement is really important too; I use it a lot with my son. (I think they promote that in the book too)
I think positive reinforcement is good for the child and the parent. Sometimes I would just feel that he was naughty all the time - just one distressing/aggravating incident to the next. With the positive reinforcement it helped me to notice the good things he does and see that he actually is good most of the time. Its just so easy to focus on the negative.
