Sanity Found - All Parents Should Read - By: J. Stephens, 13 Sep 2008 
I was looking for some serious guides on my children - this book put it all into perspective & gave me some wonderful guidelines - I've recommended it to loads of friends & some even finish the title before me & smile noting the help it provided. GET THIS BOOK TODAY!
We can't get enough - By: Jack Stewart, 18 Feb 2008 This book is excellent. Parents, who want lasting discipline,in the true sense of the word [teaching], look no further. As other reviewers have said, there is no quick fix. If that's what you are after, God help your kids!
As an author, I also found the techniques & suggestions easy to pick up & assimilate.
It is relevant for school, home & lifein general.
We can't get enough of this kind of material.
Useful book and relevant but no masterpiece! - By: Anna Triandafyllidou, 20 Dec 2007 
I am a mother of three boys aged 2, 4 & 5. Getting them to cooperate is sometimes such a challenge. And it is difficult to focus attention to three at a time so I often have the feeling that one will cry, no matter what I do or don't do. I bought this book because I was looking for ways to improve my communication with my elder boys (aged 4 & 5) who sometimes can seem so unreasonable & so defiant to me & their father. The book has helped me reacting differently & communicating comfort better to my children but I found it a touch too simplistic. I need not do my homework & see drawings to understand what this is all about. Examples are useful but I need not read ten very similar examples to get the message. It seemed to me that it was bit of a school text rather than a book aimed at grown up parents. Moreover, most examples focused on elder children (e.g. aged 8, 10 or older) contrary to what I expected, i.e. advice for communicating with toddlers & pre schoolers. In conclusion, I do recommend the book as a useful guide to improving communication with your children but it is certainly not the best book I have ever read on parenting.
My new bible - By: P. T. Wahlberg, 29 Oct 2007 Really useful book.

Excellent tips for keeping kids motivated & behaving well.
I have recommended this book to all my friends.
An essential book for any parent - By: Jules, 14 Jul 2007 This book really does what it says on the cover. The advice is relevant for all parents who want non-confrontational ways of disciplining their children. There are many examples given & old/new ways of dealing with situations. I found myself re-reading chapters as incidents arose within my home. Although changes won't occur overnight there should be improvementsin a few days. As a teacher, I also found some of the techniques & suggestions relevant for school, I certainly intend to use themin future.
