You have wasted more money on coffee this month. Read this and make yourself better.
Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
Like my father and his father before him, I was an angry father. Like my wife's mother and my grandmother, my wife was controlling and touchy. Our three children were inflicted with our poor parenting and things were getting worse. I sought knowledge after a dramatic event at home. I found Dr. Markham's blog and read and read some more and read some more. My wife and I sought a good counselor to speak with. And I have bought this excellent book. Three months later, we have peace in our houme. We are now better parents and getting better all the time. The book sits on my nightstand and reading even just the cover is a comfort and a guide. Stop the yelling. Start connecting. It is a JOY! Markham Thank you so much Dr. Markham. Thank you. Thank you for the kind words.

Much Better Approach
Derived From Web , Apr 20, 2022
Goes not only into the why's, but also into the how's. Gives great examples for specific situations intended for under 9, but I think the techniques work well much later.

Highly Recommend
Derived From Web , Jul 12, 2021
I love this book absolutely ''. It reinforced my belief that you speak as equals to your kids. They didn 't ask here to be known, so it is on us to coach them and to lead them into being the best they can be.

Warning for daycare parents!
Derived From Web , May 24, 2021
Admittedly, I have handed over this book 3 stars before I actually finished it. I, however, wanted to provide a warning that if you send your young child to Daycare, this book will make you feel terrible about this decision, whether or not you can help it. As a mother who would love to stay home with my two girls, but could not do so for financial reasons, I did not appreciate the extra guilt trip that book offered, seeing as I already beat myself up about our situation every day. The book's main points make sense and seem like sound advice, but I find myself not wanting to close a book that tells me that I might be emotionally damaging my child for life by sending them to daycare when I can not help that situation.

Attachment parenting or you’re a horrible parent
Derived From Web , Mar 24, 2021
This book will resonate with people who practice attachment parenting from the birth of their child. If you haven ’t, you will be made to feel like you ruined your child. I am sure there is good advice here, but as a parent looking for help, I don 't need to read about how sending my kid to daycare will lead to behavior problems and sleep training has ruined my bond with my child. It could be helpful, but is not true. I needed no judgment tips for how to discipline my child positively. I couldn t make it past the chapter 2. There might have been some at the end, but I didn 't get there.

Good Basic Idea
Derived From Web , Nov 17, 2018
I really like the three big ideas she cites throughout the book. She emphasizes the importance of a strong connection with your child and making sure that the basic needs of your child are met before you try to teach them. She combines different parenting approaches into a nice approach, which is many. I do feel like the book could have been shorter by 3x and I would have gotten the same out of it. At times she has wordy lists and long explanations. She also repeats many ideas to the point that I started skimming in the last chapter to see if anything new was going to show up. The book needs to be more comprehensive and structured more carefully. This will prevent parents from being overwhelmed because her lists contain many do's and not's of parenting. It can be big, so that while reading the book I would suggest focusing on her three overwhelming ideas. It's worth reading the books.

Boring and some terrible advice
Derived From Web , Oct 1, 2018
My book was defective. And I read not even half of it-it was so bad, repetitive, and basically states that our children's bad '' behavior is ok, although I do agree on showing them more love and compassion since they are still developing. Another thing they mention is how we face our problems with our past childhood-not everyone had a damaging childhood, so I don 't know why they talk so much about it. I was really looking forward to reading this book, but I couldn t get myself to read anymore.

Derived From Web , Jun 12, 2017
I started reading this about 3 wks ago and have seen a dramatic, positive change in my relationship with my 6 yr old daughter. This helped me to identify where I could be better as a parent as far as controlling my own emotions and how to help her work in a positive way through her emotions. I liked that it was not just conceptual, but gave very clear actions that I could implement. Really great for overcoming power struggles and controlling issues.
