After my pediatrician recommended anger therapy for my 5yo, I thought my world was falling apart. I picked up this book on the advice of a friend and I can honestly say that my boy is now a happy, content, well-adjusted, peace-filled normal child. He understands what it means to be a part of a family, to pull his own weight, and he is finally just not angry any more. I guess he was modeling my behavior - but not anymore! Now I walk away and no longer "vomit" my own anger on him. It took longer than a week, but our problems were bigger than mere disobedience. Now all my children are benefiting from this new method!!!

Easy read, but lacking.

Customer Rating:

Half of the book is instructional and the other half is question and answer. I read the book in about 2 hours. The information presented is clear, easy to read, entertaining and helpful. Basically the author discusses how to avoid power struggles with your children and still be a firm and loving parent. I would not consider the book a must read. However, it is helpful and a good book to balance out your parenting skills. I do recommend the book.
