Review From the ForwardFrom one busy, imperfect, fiercely loving parent to another... remember that, no matter how challenging things get or how "bad" things have gotten at home, it is never too late to learn something new.... and to become an even stronger role model for your child. Dr. Gelb repeatedly enforces this idea--"It is never, ever too late"--throughout this book. Its a comforting, empowering idea--and its true. A better future for your child starts right here, in the pages of this book. It starts with you. --Dr. Susan Mathison, M.D.From ParentsI always thought it was my kids fault for not cooperating. After reading this book I realized that if I wanted them to cooperate, I needed to change how I was parenting. Thats exactly what happened (I made some changes and then they did too). So remarkably simple... so incredibly effective. Wow! --BKIve read a lot of parenting books, but this one is totally unique. Dr. Gelb has captured the essence of effective parenting in this gem of a book and taken the mystery (and the struggle) out of raising, happy, fun-loving, well-adjusted children. Beautifully written, practical, easy-to-read. Finally, peace at home ... thanks to this book! --MB The stories that Dr. Gelb shares at the beginning of the chapters in the book about the parents shes worked with--and their successes--are so inspiring to a parent like me who is pulling her hair out, trying to get my kids to listen. The self-reflection exercises in the book are game-changers. I went from feeling frustrated and helpless, to empowered and pleased with the changes I see in my kids (and my whole family) as I implement the tools and solutions in this book. --TLThis book is so readable and was a major turning point in my understanding of parenting--reading it saved my family. --BT From ChildrenMommy read this book and now we have all our rules on a chart on the fridge. I know what I am supposed to do and I dont forget things. Also, we dont yell as much. Its awesome! --R, 8 Daddy doesnt get mad and yell at everyone and slam doors like he used to. Mommy says its because he read this parenting book. I am so happy, thank you. --A, 9My parents never used to listen to anything I had to say. It was always, "Because I said so." I used to cry myself to sleep, and not want to get up in the mornings. Lately [after they read this book] theyve been really listening to me when I have something to say. For the first time ever, I feel heard in my family, and like I belong, and that I want to be part of this family. Its so different at home now... so much better. --J, 12I used to get mad and kick the furniture when Daddy and Mommy told me to do stuff that they didnt do--like "Make your bed," but they never made theirs. Then Grandma gave them this book. Now they make their beds. too. Thats more fair. Im not mad anymore. --L, 10My dad read this book and now he comes home for dinner and he talks to me about my day. He used to stay late at work, past my bedtime. Im so happy to see my dad at dinner, and so is my mom. --J, 11When I grow up, I want to be just like Mommy. She says this book is helping her do her best.--K, 7 Long Description "My daughter just wont cooperate." "The tantrums have gotten out of control." "He promises to do his chores, but then he doesnt."
