Summary: High expectations
Review: If you're a type A personality this book is for you because that's Jim Taylor. On the other hand, if you're not a type A personality this book is for you too because you'll get a new perspective on life and kids. I'm sure Jim will have a sequel now that he's getting married, stay tuned!

Summary: Th New Pushing - Positively Speaking
Review: This Review is a overview of both the book by Jim Taylor, and his presentation of the information which I had the opportunity to particpate in at my childrens school where Jim was an invited guest speaker.Generally speaking, the ideas captured within his book...Positive Pushing... are reasonably well versed and are based really upon good common sense..which many of us seem to just forget during the day to day struggles of work, and child rearring... so as a wake up call.. it is always nice to be provided with reinforment of the benifits of just stepping back & taking a breath,,, and just realizing our responsibilities in raising our children are not at the expense of our lives, nor restraining our childrens abiity to express themselves. As far as Jims presenations as a guest speaker, the personal involement which can be had in such a setting really fosters open lines of communication, and allows the crowd to participate by expressing their own slant or twist on the meanings of his presentaion, and even better the applications that they can connect his logic to their own day to day events. In Summary, the book & presentation are both benificial to have been exposed to, and nayone able to get either should by all means take advantage of the opportunity to be a particiopate in a presenation and reinforce the inforamation by reading the book.
