All the information is supported by in-depth case studied to demonstrate how parents have used the suggestions to address their child's sleep problems.. The Gentle Discipline Book. In The Gentle Discipline Book, Sarah Ockwell-Smith debunks many commonly held beliefs about punishment and motivation, and provides an alternative approach that will empower you to discipline your child in an effective way and with respect.
