Janet Lansbury is unique among parenting experts. As a RIE teacher and student of pioneering child specialist Magda Gerber, her advice is not based solely on formal studies and the research of others, but also on her twenty years of hands-on experience guiding hundreds of parents and their toddlers. “No Bad Kids” is a collection of Janet's most popular and widely read articles pertaining to common toddler behaviors and how respectful parenting practices can be applied to benefit both parents and children. It covers such common topics as punishment, cooperation, boundaries, testing, tantrums, hitting, and more. “No Bad Kids” provides a practical, indispensable tool for parents who are anticipating or experiencing those critical years when toddlers are developmentally obliged to test the limits of our patience and love. Armed with knowledge and a clearer sense of the world through our children’s eyes, this period of uncertainty can afford a myriad of opportunities to forge unbreakable bonds of trust and respect.

Good! I learned somethings, but there were definitely chapters where I thought I'd read it before.
Essentially a collection of blog posts, but without feeling disorganized. I'm normally not a fan of that format, but in this case I'd rather read from a book than a blog, and later reference to specific chapters will be helpful.
I've read her blog, am familiar with and mostly in agreement with her parenting approach, so I knew what I was getting as far as content. If you like the idea of respect being a central tenet in dealing with children, her writing is a good place to start.
