The Practical Parent

27 years ago, this book saved my sanity and that of my children. I followed the advice to the letter, and within a few applications, all of us learned our lessons well. Today, they are our best friends... happy and well-adjusted. I have credited this book and these methods ever since, and today had an opportunity to recommend it to two colleagues. After a brief glance, both saw the potential in the methods and are ordering the books. I will always be grateful for what I learned here. It literally changed our lives.

My favorite parenting book!

I am an elementary school teacher and the mother of three children and this book has helped me more than all the child psychology books I have read. It gives practical advice for every conceivable situation and also gives antidotes from actual case studies where the advice was applied. It opens your mind up to all kinds of positive ways to teach your children to be more pleasant individuals. I have personally used alot of the advice and it works.

An absolute "must" for parents

The book gives excellent and compassionate methods to deal with everyday problems parents encounter with their upgrowing children. A warm and at the same time 'no-nonsense' approach. Paul Miedema, child-psychologist, The Netherlands
