Summary: This book is a MUST READ for every parent!!!
Review: This is the one!!! I have read almost every parenting bookrecomended on TV or in magazines, but no more. The"lightbulb" came on when I read this book. Finally, an approach that makes sense! After reading this book, I read almost all of John Rosemond's other books and have applied his methods in our home. What a difference it has made in the kids' behavior! Things are a lot less stressful at our house now! Order this book NOW and it will change your life for the better! By the way, many people think Rosemond's techniques involve iron-fisted control over your kids (and spanking); nothing could be further from the truth. Please read the book. You'll be glad you did!

Summary: No quick fixes.
Review: This man sounds sexist. He wants to blame over-emotional mothers for the problems with children. If we all parented as men there would be no trouble, he seems to say. He offers his quick-fix list of rules, but declines to give them a foundation of love and the values of the family. I predict that children raised under his edicts will grow up to rebel, big-time, against their autocratic parents. "Because I said so," may sometimes indeed be the end of the discussion, but not before the child is told the reason for the parent's decision. I do agree with some of his ideas, but I think he builds a very bare house that will wash away without an adequate foundation of love and respect within the family.
