Without some info about the issues involved, your parenting style or 
practices, ages of children, etc. it is hard to offer specific 
responses. In most communities there are people you can talk with 
about parenting questions. These may be found through child health 
clinics, school counselors, community service agencies, churches, 
youth recreation programs, etc.

I have worked as a bookseller of books for children and parents for 
about twenty years. There are good books on parenting and styles of 
discipline. Some give more of a recipe approach: when A happens, do 
B. Others offer more of an over all framework or philosophy. 
Personally, I prefer those, though they may be less useful in dealing 
with a crisis. I particularly like "Kids are Worth It: Giving Your 
Child the Gift of Inner Discipline" by Barbara Coloroso. I expect 
others here will have additions to a list of favorite books on 
discipline.
