review 1: Probably the best basic parenting book I've read. It discusses 24 parenting tools, with a big emphasis on positive and preventative parenting. Very comprehensive. Would go well with "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk", which goes into more detail on some of the communication concepts in this book. I didn't get much out of this book that was new, but I really liked having all the parenting "tools" collected into one place.
review 2: This book was really good for a parenting book! My favorite thing the author talks about is that kids need time spent individually with a parent doing what the child wants to do every day - just for a small amount of time. Children want to belong and feel significant. I know making ONE ON ONE time fo... morer my kids each individually every day is something I can do better at, and I really hope that applying this will stop a lot of misbehavior! A lot of what she talks about reminded me of things I learned in a Love & Logic course (using encouragement instead of praise, using "when/then" phrases instead of telling kids to do something, using natural consequences, using a calm voice, offering choices, and avoiding power struggles by not ordering or correcting or directing). Reading and believing her theories and advice is a lot easier than really using them as a parent...so we'll see how it goes! less
