In this book you'll discover how to channel that determination in positive ways as you build a healthy relationship.

We live in a culture that seeks to destroy the embryonic faith of our children and usher them into politically correct ideology, godless systems of belief, and gross immorality that would have shocked previous generations. This is what confronts today's Christian parents and many of them are terrified of it. We live in truly perilous times. But the good news is there is a way you can be victorious in this battle for the hearts, minds, and souls of your precious children.

Answer to my prayers!
I was referred to this book by a friend when I was about to throw the towel in on homeschooling. I was frustrated and cried daily. My son was testing me every minute of every day and my children were fighting all the time. This book had me in tears...not sad tears but years of relief! It only took 2 days to get through this wonderful book. In these past 2 days I can see a difference in my household already!!!! Thank God for this book and Mr Dobson!

a real disappointment from Dobson.
another preachy sermon that gets real off topic, raising strong willed children, and just wants you to pray. no thanks. I'm in the real world and need real solutions. let me save you the time and money, you are already doing what Dobson may suggest, and he offers no New or Helpful techniques. he mainly wants you to spank, be firm, be loving and then pray and spank some more. That's about it.

Born again christian based
Was disappointed by the born again view point of this book. Especially since it wasn't mentioned in the description or reviews. The introduction tells how the author beat his recalcitrant dachshund with a belt??? Later on a mother tells how she had to discipline her 5 year old daughter by putting her in the garage! Then prays over her every day asking the holy spirit for guidance. Really???

Christian child rearing that involves some spanking
I thought it is a great read. We were and maybe still partially are anti-spanking in our home. The book was very helpful with our strong willed 4 almost 5 yr old. I liked the section talking about taking emotion out and spanking before the parent gets mad. I would agree that I would rather my son be spanked than me loosing my mind and verbally abusing him. I am using the trapezius squeeze that he describes in the book when it comes to a direct defiance. No emotion from me, no yelling, just a little squeeze. It reminds me of dog training which the author compares childrearing too. So you can find that interesting, humorous, or offensive?!? I do believe it has wonderful points and I’m soaking it all in still. I definitely think it will be held in my repertoire of tools for some time. Thank you

Ok
I do like the idea of balancing authority with love. The thought of firm parenting is refreshing to hear in a day where everyone is afraid of disciplining their child. However, this book becomes very preachy as it continues. The author implies that a child has no moral compass if raised without religion. I strongly believe we can teach our son to be decent without implanting the fear of god. I don’t want my son to be good person because he is afraid of god poking out his eyes (as was explained with Sampson). I also don’t want him to live in fear that god is always watching to keep his moral compass strong.
