In response to shesus, they're not free but there are <a href="http://amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_i_0/104-2241096-9902360?ie=UTF8&keywords=parenting&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aparenting%2Ci%3Astripbooks&page=1">over 43 thousand parenting guides</a> on Amazon. Not exactly tied to the umbilical, though :-)
And in response to the original post, I agree with shesus in that consistency is by far the most important tool you've got in these types of situations. children especially learn best from consistency.
