review 1: As with all parenting books I've read, I think you have to take from this what you can. I think there is a lot to take away. She has some great ideas of what to say instead of what you're saying to your children. You'll feel great when you recognize things you already do. Overall a positive approach to parenting. I haven't read Alfie Kohn YET but I bet this book is similar in content, but a little easier to get through because of writing style. I did notice a lot of her daily e mails are straight from the book. I love the e mails, and the book. I'd recommend them both to all parents.
review 2: If you know anyone who is starting a family, get them a copy of this book. I have been a parent for over 30 years and can say that of all the child rearing books I've eve... morer read, this is the one I truly wish I had read at the beginning. It would have transformed our family life. After all that trial and error, this is pretty much how I handle my youngest, yet still there are great tips here for me (including WHY things work) and ways for me to explain to younger mothers why I don't bother with time-out, etc. See also the wonderful information on Dr Markham's website. My favourite concept from the book, that applies to all areas of life, is that whenever we have a choice, we can act out of love OR out of fear. less
