The best parenting book ever April 14, 2007
31 out of 31 found this review helpful

You know one of those books that makes you want to buy twenty of them and give them to people you know, as well as random strangers? Well, this is one of these. Excellent, practical and balenced advice for kids of 4+, urging parents to teach their children responsibility, get theem to do stuff without nagging and most of all share their true selves with their children. Please read it, it will change your life.

This book is brilliant!

I have a child of my own and I also work with children, many who have challenging behavior. This book has made my life so much easier, as a result of reading this book I feel I have a better relationship and understanding of the children I'm in contact with.

Best parenting book there is February 8, 2007
18 out of 18 found this review helpful

This is the best parenting book I've read, and believe me, I've read a few. It's witty and well-written, by people who've been there. If you can manage even a few of their suggestions, you'll see a difference in your relationship with your child. Their other book - Siblings without Rivalry - is great too.

As an impatient mother of a challenging three year old I'd given up on books (and there were lots of them) and advice (and there was lots of it). A good friend of mine slipped me this book and I gave it a passing glance. I tried the first technique out with not much hope, and was immediately rewarded with a co-operation That was a week ago. I have since read it from cover to cover, given it back to my friend with a massive thank you, bought it myself and intend to read it again. It has made an immediate improvement to my relationship not only with my son but with my partner, my parents, my siblings and people in general. I've gone from frustrated, irritated, tired orgress to confident, loving mother. I actually enjoying talking to my son and he enjoys talking to me. I'd recommend this book to anyone who deals with children.

A professional tool May 31, 2006
35 out of 36 found this review helpful

I work with parents who are having a hard time with their children. This book is great to dip into and it's possible to offer often despairing parents genuine tools to effect small changes in their relationship with their children and then later, sit and 'debrief' the outcome of a few days' worth of trial of the exercises and suggestions. As a previous reviewer has suggested, this book is also about how one should consider communicating with people generally not only children and young people. Cheaper and more effective than many much grander academic tomes for the majority of most people's typically fractious experiences with some children. Excellent.
