Using the story approach popularized by Ken Blanchard in his many bestsellers, this unique parenting book draws on the experiences of two of the coauthorsas both pioneering marine mammal trainers and as parentsto show how the same principles that induce killer whales to leap into the air can persuade young children to go quietly to bed. Like Amy and her husband Matt, once you get the hang of the three Whale Done principles, you’ll see a dramatic difference in overcoming challenges like following bedtime routines, dealing with tantrums, introducing new foods, sharing, avoiding overuse of the word no, learning to care for a pet, and instituting time-outs.
