review 1: Out of all the parenting books my husband and I have slogged through trying to find any sort of advice about our very spirited, language-delayed, discipline-resistant three-year-old, this one and The Explosive Child were the only two that really resonated. This book lays out a strong foundation to assist struggling parents in rebuilding healthy relationships with challenging kids. There are some elements I don't agree with, but not many. Think of this as a more practical, reasonable and readable (and less hysterical) version of Unconditional Parenting.
review 2: I have to say this is the BEST parenting book I've read! It was fun & easy to read & the examples in it were very common situations and problems I often find myself in with my kids.My 4 year old son (I ... moresometimes refer to him as 'spirited' lol) is the one who I've been having trouble with lately & have tried everything with him from time-outs, taking away his toys to threatening & nothing seems to work! After reading this book I have new found hope that my relationship with my son can change & everything won't always be a daily struggle! One of my favorite quotes from the book:"Here is the good news. Children are actually very quick to change. Now the bad news: we as parents are not. It turns out that it's far more challenging to change a parent's attitudes and expectations about their children than it is to change the children themselves." less
