review 1: I dont have much of a problem kid but just went through the book to get a different perspective on raising kids. I think this book is culturally more suited for the western kids and their value system. I do take home some suggestions by Dr Leman on dealing with various situations and problem areas. His views are forthright and he I like his emphasis on a child learninig to take his own responsibility which rarely happend in a Indian upbringing.Self analysis of impact of your own action is required before you go on to his action plan on moulding your kids behaviour. The action plain is simple common sense and one you can relate with. I am sure the book will enable you to be a better parent and a ensure a more fuller family life.
review 2: There were parts of thi
... mores book I agreed with and some that I did not agree with AT ALL! He covers all ages, but I don't think there are enough examples to use for when your kids are young. Here are some thing I do NOT agree with:-If your child throws a fit, even in a public place, then walk away. You're not supposed to look back. Personally, I do not consider this a safe thing to do if you're away from home. -Shy children are not really shy, they are just manipulating adults. As a shy, quiet child myself, I find this idea unbelievable.-He also says that if your child is unruly at home to put them outside. And lock the door. I don't even know what to say about that. less
