Rating:  - Gimmicky. Some Good.
This book caught my eye at the local used book store because I'd heard praise for The One Minute Manager, and figured any "one minute" techniques for parenting couldn't hurt.

Rating:  - Could have been said in three paragraphs....
After reading and appreciating THE ONE MINUTE MANAGER years ago, I assumed I'd enjoy THE ONE MINUTE MOTHER now that I have two kids of my own. WRONG! The author's needless use of a silly story, very slow and unappealing, does little to nothing to enhance the principles of One Minute Parenting.
