Rating:  - Please - Please - Please Buy This Book!!!!
Having been brought up by parents who, it could be argued, crossed the line from "providing discipline" to out & out physical abuse on occasion -- and regularly engaged in verbal abuse -- I knew that, if I didn't want to repeat my parents' mistakes, I'd have to put some effort into educating myself on good parenting techniques when I became pregnant.

Rating: - best parenting book
This was the best parenting book we ever read. It teaches you how to tune in and listen to your child and really hear what they say and don't say. I now give this to everyone I know who has a child.
Rating: - Great tool for all parents
I have read many books related to raising/disciplining children, but this was by far the best. The author does a phenomenal job of explaining things from the viewpoint of a child. This book helps you to look within yourself before reacting or responding to your children. There are many practical applications.
Rating: - the basics of parenting
You will not succeed with any " Pocket Parent" style book or with any single "parenting tip" if you fail to understand the very important things that this book explains in a clear, thorough way. Every parent should read it to go beyond their expectations and treat their children with humanity and respect. Very nice book.

I reckoned if i did a few things correctly when their ... Read More
