Amazon Reviews
"I cannot imagine anyone reading this book and not emerging from it a happier and more effective parent. As a working mom with three kids aged 10 and under, I can tell you, I wish I had read this book years ago - it would have saved me so much frustration! The book is short, well written, and a quick read. The message is simple and powerful, and the examples and anecdotes really help the reader to process the material. I cannot recommend this book highly enough."

"Both me and my husband loved the book. I like that is written by a mother that dealt with this issues first hand. I also love that we give out actual suggestions, and yes, they work. I have a 3-year-old and I found lots of answers here. The book has changed my life and parenting style. I would definitely recommend it!
"Excellent resource for parents. If you are one of those parents who have relied on corporal punishment you really need to read and apply these parenting skills! We raised 5 children, House-parented 9 (at a time), and can speak from experience. VERY HELPFUL!"
