Just found out about this wonderful book

I was haveing big problems with my 4 year old adhd son and his consler showed me this book and you know alot of this book was me! I really did not realize it till I was showed that I was just giving my son control of ME and I was not really being the parent. I was letting me son run My life and this book made me see that. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT WITH A BOOK TO SHOW US PARENTS THAT THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PURRFECT PARENT BUT WE ALL ARE STILL LEARNING! I am still learning to this day. My son seems happier that I am not putting so many adult decisions on him but that I am letting him be a child! once again thank you so much and I hope other parents find this book as helpful as I did. I do not own one yet but I'm trying to get one.Times are rough for me right now but as soon as I get back on me feet, And hopefully soon I will buy the used one. Hope everyone else gets what I did out of this book. Thank you so much Charity Castleberry

"PURRFECT" for all parents or future parents!!!!

This is a light hearted book about the very serious job of parenting. Sound simple advice that works! I am anxious for this book to be re-printed. I used it with my now 14 year son an would love an updated version to use with my 18 month old twins. I would definately give this book as a gift at baby showers or to those parents that are having difficult times with their children. So please, please, please give us more of PURRFECT PARENTING!!!

Ancient secret fundamental truths about discipline revealed

Everything you need to raise polite, nice, well-mannered kids (works for pets, too!) is in this book. It's not rocket science, but you DO need to be consistent, firm, and rational. It might be easy to dismiss the content based on the humorous presentation, but this book will solve (and prevent!) your child(ren)'s behavioral and discipline issues. PLEASE REPUBLISH THIS TITLE! We loaned ours out and it is gone. We want to give this book to all our friends with kids, but can't and now we can't lend it.

comprehensive behavior management in humourous context

I've taught infants(birth-3yrs.old) for >18yrs. & given this book to MANY parents in need of help with discipline. Also a GREAT baby-shower gift; it's a complete behavior management guide, but done with such humor that parents aren't ashamed to admit they see themselves & their mistakes in it! (Even DADS will read it, which is really saying something, 'cause it's hard to get them to read this sort of topical material- they prefer to discipline by "the seat of their pants", which is NOT usually good for the seat of the child's pants! Trains you to use methods which WORK, if you really appply them, without a need for spanking or hitting your kids,a major plus in today's violent world.Teaches how to develop internal discipline in kids, which is the REAL purpose of discipline, not because "we said so!", or 'cause we're the parent!, bigger than you or whatever!

Highly recommended for new parents

This is one of the best sources for practical parenting I have ever found. I have given away almost 6 copies and everyone who reads it, loves it!
