Very Worth the time to read...

I got a lot out of reading Baer's first book, Real Love. This one has helped me to be a better dad, and consequently reinforced the practices in my marriage that have truly caused profound shifts in experience. I highly recommend this book if you are serious about raising a family with a solid foundation of love.

Great information for Parents, Grandparents, Teachers, etc.

This book helped me a great deal and I think it could benefit anyone really. It really helps clarify how much our children (or anybody for that matter) need to feel truly loved and accepted. Also helped me to see common mistakes I was making that was sending my children the messages I did not want to be sending them. Quite an eye opener. I have also gone to the website and taken part in several of the services offered there. If you're thinking about this book, I'd encourage you to go ahead and read it!!

The Most Important Book to Read on Parenting

I've been in psychology for years and read about a billion self-help and parenting books. Nothing has come close to the perspective and knowledge shared in Real Love in Parenting. Real Love is the missing ingredient in most children's lives and this book outlines how to begin getting and giving the unconditional love we all need. Real Love in Parenting illuminated so much of my life as a child and as a parent that I had never seen before.

An invaluable tool for bringing happiness to your family

I have facilitated Love and Logic parenting classes for a couple of years and, while I believe them to be an invaluable tool for helping families, I felt that something was missing. "Real Love in Parenting" fills in the missing link! By explaining the "why" of the negative behaviors we see in our kids (as well as ourselves and the rest of society!), this book gives insights that allow us to REALLY feel and display empathy for our kids' mistakes, which is so crucial to the Love and Logic model. I have seen a marked improvement in our family dynamics since I've implemented some of the strategies of this book. Along with "Parenting with Love and Logic," I highly recommend this book to every parent!
