review 1: Lai gan man vēl nav sava pusaudža, katru lappusi tvēru ar lielu aizrautību. Grāmata, ko gribēšu pārlasīt. Ne visiem vecākiem patiks, jo vairāki padomi var tik vērtēti kā ieteikums "padoties", lai gan tā nebūt nav.Par „mazo es” un „lielo es” – ne tikai pusaudži, bet arī pieaugušie mājās ir citādāki kā sabiedrībā. Mājās esam drošībā, varam atļauties atslābt un sagaidīt, ka beidzot varēsim parūpēties par sevi.Universāls padoms par māku ieklausīties otrā un padomu sniegšanu -„Padomam ir jābūt kā māla figūriņai, kuru noliekat uz galda, - tas ir piedāvājums. To var ignorēt. To var nolamāt. To var mīdīt ar kājām, līdz tas pārvēršas putekļos. Bet to var arī pieņemt un norvērtēt. Ja sniedzat padomu, cilvē... moreki ar to var rīkoties, kā paši vēlas. Nevajadzētu pieļaut, ka jūtaties aizvainots, ja jūsu padomu neizmanto – lai arī cik lielisks un labs tas būtu.”
review 2: There was some good advice but overall I didn't see it applying to our family. The author must see some rowdy kids because most of the examples were kids dropping the f-bomb on their parents. Most of the kids I have been around just don't talk to their parents in that manner. Or the author just got a kick out of using the word over and over again - which was pretty unnecessary. I have read better parenting books for sure. less
