I found that no one book has it all. Each book I read gives me different insights even if I don't agree with everything.
How to talk so children will listen and how to listen so children will talk. (Was a long time ago I want to read it again)
1-2-3 magic
The explosive child
No drama discipline - my favorite
Brainstorm
I have it on my list to read more titles from the author Daniel J. Segal

I absolutely agree that each book has one ( or two) strong points and the rest is there to fill the pages.

Rav Wolbe is a gadol at chinuch.

I will add Rosemond, for his common sense and humour (take what you like, discard the other).

The Joy of educating based on Rav SR Hirsch zatsal

Blessing of a skinned knee appeals to my European no nonsense no special snowflake.

I loved Delicate balance, didn't get so much Raising your kids without raising your voice. I was told later it is meant for a more non frum audience.

And anything Jungreis/Slovie.
