Ken Blanchard, Thad Lacinak, Chuck Tompkins and Jim Ballard

What does training killer whales have to do with raising children? As this engrossing and unique parenting fable shows, more than you?d think. In their New York Times bestseller Whale Done, Ken Blanchard and his co-authors -- including two veteran marine mammal trainers -- showed how positive training concepts used at places like SeaWorld could be adapted to the workplace. In this new book they apply these same principles to parenting. Once Amy and Matt get the hang of the five Whale Done principles, they 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.
