Author: Guest A very easy to use book that can change your relationship with your kiids.
Whenever I get frustrated I read it to center myself and react is a positive way.
Author: Guest This book is excellent in the insight it gives on praising kids for the good things that they do instead of always dwelling on the bad behavior. The book gives many helpful tips for dealing with all typs of issues involing children's behavior and how we as parents should talk to our kids.
The only thing I don't agree with in the book is the chapter on not punishing kids for bad behavior. Kids must know that there are consequences for bad behavior and if they make the wrong choice there will be a punishment.But that is my opinion.
Author: Guest Great handbook on dealing with children. If you've read "Freakonomics" you'll know that parents who read self-help books aren't the ones who need them, but I'd read it anyway.
Author: Guest Of all the parenting books I've read this year this one has been most helpful. I love the cartoons! Sound advice for people who want to improve parenting skills.
Author: Guest Excellent book. This is as close as I have come to an instruction manual for parenting.
