Well-written, researched and referenced, this book is excellent. And as impressed as I was with it, I was thrilled that she ended with one of my favorite Khalil Gibran poems, the one that begins: Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. We are but stewards of our children, and it is our responsibility to bring them up with self-worth and confidence to become the best adults they can be. I think everyone should read this book; it is excellent. By Book Lover, Amazon Customer This very well-written book is a way, a medium, for a parents to reflect on their own health as people. Some of the key points in the book include: being able to separate the behavior from the child, keeping in mind the lifelong sculpting that is underway in each act of either effective or ineffective parenting, the powerful modeling that can occur when a parent can control the expression of toxic anger and other emotions, consistency, the importance of firmness, having as the highest priority the empowerment of the child, among many others-all abilities a psychologically healthy person needs to be able to do in many areas of life.Joanna Wells does a great job distinguishing between the different parenting styles, and describes the stages of child development with a view to the appropriate ways of discipline for each stage. The writing is very smooth, direct and encouraging. It succeeds beautifully in creating a blueprint for mental and behavioral health in a person as it applies to the very focused activity of disciplining a child. By Fredric C. Hartman, Ph.D., Amazon Customer This book opened my eyes. I am tired of the argument, getting upset, scream and losing control over my children. This book helped me to understand my discipline was only because I wanted to control them. I want them to listen to me without asking questions, without talking back! And I think my behavior is making the matter worst. I need to start respecting them and giving them choices, really listening to them and having open communications. I can't wait to implement all the tips and knowledge in this book and change my relationship with my children. I highly recommend this book to all parents. It is better to do it right the first time than fix it later on like me... I am thankful I found this book. It is never too late! By Wan Cheng Yu, Amazon Customer
