Excellent book!!

I'm half way through the book, but starting incorporating the discipline tools as I went along... This book has literally changed my life! I'm less angry, less stressed, less frustrated, and so are my children!(ages 6 and 3). Respect works! I highly recommended this book!!

A "must have" for your parenting library

This is an excellent reference book. It's written by a mother of five and deals with everyday parenting issues faced by parents of children of all ages. It contains not only highly helpful tips but also provides a framework for parenting.

Wonderful Book on Parenting

This is the best book I have ever read on parenting. While it needs some copy editing and an index, the information it contains is so well informed, so practical, so honest, that it is truly indispensable. I would love to give this book to every expectant parent in the world (I hope it will be translated into other languages). The author explains which parenting techniques work best and why. There are disciplinary examples for every occasion and every age group. She explains each stage of child development so you can understand what can be expected of a child at each age. She demonstrates why every disciplinary action that builds your relationship with your child is a successful method and every action that diminishes that relationship is detrimental. Parents can't be perfect, but this book will give them the tools to do their best. I wish I'd had this book 40 years ago, but at least I've given a copy to my daughter for raising her children. (My daughter loves it, too.)

Wow - a great book...

This is a must read for all parents. Great parenting tips from a real mom! This book is the bible on parenting. Very respectful of families and children. I loved it.
