Bible based parenting

I have found this book to be encouraging and empowering. Through listening to this book it gave me better ways to address problem behaviors in my children and empowered me to be the parent I wanted to be.

A must read for parents

We are struggling with kids ages 8 and 10 and I wish I had read this book 10 years ago. There's excellent tips from toddler to preteen. A few points we did not agree with, but overall I am incredibly excited to implement these strategies and see improvements with our children. Wasn't a fan of the narrator's voice, and sped the book up to a reasonable pace, but listen for the content and get a hard copy to go back to and help with your personal parenting plan.

sensible but with an agenda

There is some good and sensible advice here washed down on all the "god-babble". The underling idea of how to be a leader to your children is sound. He doesnt seem to consider church going as another "extra curricular Activity" yo avoid. Apparently a well behaved child must also be god fearing. To put it in the authors words: Hogwash
