User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Practical stuff.
I found the book to be full of practical advice and I like his emphasis on training children to be considerate of others.
2 Stars Not a bad book but very basic
This book was a good review on basic child development and the use of schedules. Not what I was looking for. I like Love & Logic and How To Discipline with Love much better for parenting ideas. I am not much on structuring your whole day and life for kids.
5 Stars Spot On
This book has been life changing for me and my family. My only regret is not reading this book sooner. My life as a parent has gotten easier and more rewarding since applying the principles in this book. My six year old is taking on more responsibilities because I am now educated on how to transfer tasks to him. He gets himself ready for school without me having to nag him over and over again ( brush your teeth, wash your hands, get dressed, get your back pack, etc.). My 2 year old who used to like coming into my room at 5:30 AM is now sleeping in her bed until I come in to get her at an appropriate time in the morning (she is doing this because she now realizes that mommies and daddies don’t like be woken up in the middle of the night, just like she wouldn’t like to be woken up - treat others how you want to be treated). Best of all both of my kids are on the right path to becoming empathetic, caring citizens not selfish little twits.
5 Stars Helpful Tips
I really enjoyed this book. It is a wonderful and practical parenting resource. It was encouraging to read it as it re-enforces the vision at our church and gives many of the same principles and tips.
1 Star I can’t believe it’s still out there…..
Please be very careful if you “must” give this book any consideration. It is dangerous, divisive and in many ways…UN-Christ-like! There are MANY better sources out there by Dr. Dobson, Dr. Sears and Dr. Brazelton.
