Fantastic! Easy to read and practical!

This book does an amazing job of bringing to life the challenges parents face in today's fast paced world with real-life examples and stories. After reading this book, I feel so much better about myself as a parent. I know I was not alone in my parenting struggles and that I was not a bad parent. This book gives practical advice on parenting throughout the life span (childhood to adulthood). I highly recommend this. It's very positive and easy to read.

This should be required reading for all parents.

Exceptional. I gave a copy to my pediatrician to put in his lobby and he insisted on reading it first. He now recommends it to all of the parents of his patients. Bravo, Dr. Jaksa!

Down to earth, practical, sympathetic to parents' struggles

Peter Jaksa is a very tuned-in, sensitive, practical therapist who provides a well-organized, highly readable book for parents who are struggling to make sense of parenting issues and family issues in this complex, difficult social environment of the late twentieth century. Dr. Jaksa charts a course for parents that gives hope and direction.

Don't Raise your kids without Reading This

Dr. Jaksa's book is crammed with practical, readable advise that makes sense. His chapters on power struggles, school problems and homework, sex and drugs, and strategies to prevent problems make this book a "classic." As a school psychologist, I would recommend this book to all parents to help them understand the importance of family traditions in a life fraught with pressure and media influences that may be powerful and damaging. I think this is a brilliant piece of work!

a great tool in parenting by far the best I 've ever read

Dr. Jaksa explains the tools and methods used in today's parenting . The author uses innovative methods as well as traditional approaches in creating harmony in the family unit. I found this book to be extemely helpful in my life. The best aspect of this book is that it is not your average book it is practical and humorous not clinical and boring like most parenting books. The author mixes his blend of wisdom and enthuisiam to teach us to be the best parents that we can .
