This stuff really works!

I read this book about 2 years ago. I started using his techniques first with the kids. Boy what a difference! The kids responded great. Next I tried it on my employees, it worked great with them too. This is such a gentle way to get the kids and employees to behave in the manner in which you need them too. Thanks Steve for making life at home and work much better. My kids are just entering the teenage years and I think these techniques are going to make these years quite managable.

The Best Parenting Book I've Ever Read!

If you only read one parenting book in your lifetime, this should be it! The book is easy to read and will truly make a difference in your life and that of your children. I have encouraged everyone I know to read this book. I believe that if one out of every ten people in our country read this book, we would see dramatic changes in society...quite possibly less depression, less violence, and an overall improvement of the emotional health of society. This book in invaluable.

AWESOME!!! It's a wonderful lesson in communiction!

This book helps you to help your child learn to think - by asking them ?s and letting them think. It also takes you out of the "No." and "Don't" syndrome. It's a book for everyone!!!

great parenting book!

This is one of the best parenting books I've read. It gives you solid tools for parenting from the heart. This author is a management expert, not a psychologist, and many of the tools are appropriate for working with people, no matter what their age. I especially like the "gift of forward focus" which helps kids to see that all of life is about learning lessons, and that the only reason to look backward is to understand the lesson in order to be able to avoid the same mistake again. Otherwise it just wastes your energy. I also like the "gift of feeling fully" which helps kids to be in touch with their emotions. I have already given several copies as gifts and will continue to do so. To the author: Have you considered an audiotape?

A must-read book for all parents.

This is a very pleasant book that helps put the joy back in parenting. It contains stories and thoughts that will encourage you to focus on what's most important in your life. It will help you enjoy your children on a day-to-day basis. It's a book that I've read more than once.
