5.0 out of 5 stars Best parenting book for frustrated parents Nov 13 2003
By "aschroeder13"
Format:Paperback
My mother-in-law, who is a child psychologist, introduced me to this book. She's been using it for years in her practice. I have been irritated by other books that seem to talk exclusively about how to help children while ignoring parents' needs. This book has great real-life examples and doesn't come down on stressed out parents for getting angry or saying dumb things. Instead, it gives practical exercises and rules for helping your relationship. Some of them are hard to do. Habits are hard to change. But it has made a world of difference between me and my 3-year-old. I'm so glad to have read this book so early in her life. I think it will spare us some of the heartache my mother and I experienced, mostly due to poor communication skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars Passing it forward! April 18 2013
By R. Wiener
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book 30 years ago when my kids were small and I was tearing my hair out!! It was an eye opening experience. I was so pleased to see that it's still available and that there is also a book for communicating with teens. I just bought one for each of my daughters who have young families. I'm sure they will learn some important skills as I did.

I read chapter one in the morning before my 3-year-old son woke up and most of our problems were solved by lunchtime! I went from wondering why I became a mother to smooth sailing. Read more
