As seen in the New York Times -- a practical guide that presents an alternative to shouting, shaming, and blaming--to give kids the skills they need to grow and thrive

Discipline is an essential part of raising happy and successful kids, but as more and more parents are discovering, conventional approaches often don't work, and can even lead to more frustration, resentment, power struggles, and shame.

Enter Sarah Ockwell-Smith, a popular parenting expert who believes there's a better way. Citing the latest research in child development, psychology and neuroscience, Gentle Discipline debunks common myths about punishments, rewards, the "naughty chair," and more, and presents practical, connection-based techniques that really work--and that bring parents and kids closer together instead of driving then apart. Topics include:

Setting--and enforcing--boundaries and limits with compassion and respect
Focusing on connection and positivity instead of negative consequences
Working with teachers and other caregivers
Breaking the cycle of shaming and blaming

Filled with ideas to try today, Gentle Discipline helps parents of toddlers as well as school-age kids embrace a new, more enlightened way to help kids listen, learn and grow.

My puppy loves this set
Color: 9 Pack (No-stuffed Fox)
It’s been 15 years since I had a puppy so after I adopted a 9 week old puppy, then I realized I had no toys for her! I wanted a variety at a reasonable price. And fast too! This arrived the next day and she immediately started playing with everything. I think her favorite is the fox but she loves them all. The first time she heard the avocado squeak was priceless. She also loves the rope toys but they shred so I limit her time alone with them. These probably won’t last a long time but they were a good price for a lot of variety of items. She is happy so I’m happy. Thanks

Poop bag and treat dispenser questionable
Color: 9 Pack (No-stuffed Fox)
This is a hard one. The toys seem great. The whole box smells of the poop bags and I don't think they should be a part of the purchase. The bigger issue i see is the treat ball seems to have a weird plastic coating on it. Almost like a thin clear coat that gives is a peeling feeling and I don't think it is safe for the puppy. Excited to see how she likes the other toys though.

Great Variety for Teething Puppies, Keeps Him Busy!
Color: 9 Pack (No-stuffed Fox), Color: 9 Pack (No-stuffed Fox)
I got this 9-pack toy set for my 11 lb chihuahua-terrier mix puppy, and it’s been very well received by my little guy. He’s been bored being in quarantine until his vaccines kick in and he's also teething. This toy set has made a huge difference. Great variety - you get a combination of rope toys, plush squeaky toys, and even a treat ball, so he often rotates between them depending on what he wants. The rope toys have been especially good for teething, while the softer toys keep him entertained. One of the plush toys has that crinkly texture inside, which he loves. The treat ball is a nice bonus too. I've put treats and his dog kibble in there throughout the day, and it helps keep him engaged and also mentally tires him out. Everything is sized well for a small puppy and light enough for him to carry around easily. The materials feel decent for the price, especially considering how many toys you get. That said, I do keep an eye on him with the softer ones since he’s still a puppy and likes to chew. Pros: Good mix of rope, plush, and interactive toys Great for teething and keeping him occupied Treat ball adds a mental challenge Good size for small dogs/puppies Nice value for the number of toys Cons: Softer toys may wear down faster with heavier chewing Overall, this has been a really useful set during a phase where he’s both teething and needs a lot of mental stimulation. I’d recommend it for small dogs or puppies, especially if you want a variety instead of buying individual toys.

Perfect Puppy Starter Toy Set
Color: 9 Pack (No-stuffed Fox), Color: 9 Pack (No-stuffed Fox)
This toy pack is such a great value for puppies. My puppy stayed entertained for hours and loved having different textures to chew and play with. The toys feel soft but still durable enough for everyday use. A few of the smaller toys are better for light chewing, but overall it’s a fun variety pack for keeping a puppy happy and active.
