This review is from: Boundaries With Kids: How Healthy Choices Grow Healthy Children (Paperback)
The Boundries Book series has saved my sanity many times over. Over the years, I have bought many of their books as gifts for friends who are in a rough spot and it has helped quite a lot of them stay sane and get a different perspective. Even if you are not a Christian, there is a lot of hands on help in these pages.A big thank you to the authors.

This review is from: Boundaries with Kids: When to Say Yes, When to Say No to Help Your Children Gain Control of Their Lives (Hardcover)
I'm able to find something I heartily disagree with in every childcare or child discipline book I read. Even in my favorites. But I thought my head was going to fall off I nodded so hard while reading this book. I used to hedge daily on discipline worrying I was "hurting" my kids too much when I had to enforce loss of privileges. This book made me see that all consequences are painful...they are supposed to be. But painful and harmful are not the same thing. Just because my child is temporarily unhappy, that doesn't mean she is permanently scarred. All growth is painful. The flip side to the advice is you should balance your enforcement of consequences with empathy, affection, and support. You are neither your child's enemy nor his friend. You are his parent.I was able to immediately put the good advice to use right away and my family is so much more peaceful! Boundaries really are good for building character, increasing empathy, and as converse as it may sound, strengthening the relationship between you and your children. The authors are both psychotherapists and devout Christians. I thought the Christian bent might annoy me but the scriptures quoted were used sparingly and only enhanced the eloquence and relevance of the text. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to friends and relatives, Christian and secular. Buy this book and you will walk around thinking "I know which boundaries HIS/HER parents didn't enforce as a child." What an enlightening book!

This review is from: Boundaries With Kids: How Healthy Choices Grow Healthy Children (Paperback)
Limits, boundaries, and consequences are essential for healthy parenting. Unfortunately, establishing and enforcing these is no easy task (at least for me). "Boundaries with Kids" is an excellent resource and provides a great overview. It helped me a lot. My only complaint is that I completed this book wanting more information. I think establishing and enforcing limits, boundaries, and consequences in an effective manner is tied into so many other aspects of our personal psychology and family histories. After reading "Boundaries with Kids" I read "Systemic Parenting: An Exploration of the Parenting Big Picture" (Gaskill). This book provided me with the detail and background that really brought the subject alive for me. Believe me, these books really compliment each other.
