review 1: This book is much better than the title would indicate. The author explains why we have to actively parent our children instead of letting them go with the flow of the crowd. The book talks about studying, family time, morals, faith, priorities, manners...all the parenting topics. She covers the topics in ways that I do not think I've ever seen them covered. For example she discusses the need to plan time when your family is together at home. Not on vacation or doing a scheduled activity, just hanging out and doing chores, eating together, talking. I like the examples she gives from her own family life. The book is entertaining and encouraging for parents.
review 2: She reinforces what I already knew to be true within myself and my own beliefs about parent... moreing. She got a little redundant at times, but it's a great book for anyone who feels alone when their parenting style doesn't bend to the wave of parental and societal peer pressure. I know we are bringing up GEEKS - GENUINE ENTHUSIASTIC EMPOWERED KIDS - I just wish we could find more people out there in our community who feel the same way. less
