Lecturing author!,

This review is from: Kid Cooperation: How to Stop Yelling, Nagging, and Pleading and Get Kids to Cooperate (Paperback)
I did not find this book helpful at all. The author tends to lecture while putting parents who unknowingly make mistakes into "cutesy" little categories like "Nagging Nellie, Whining Wilma, Betty Briber, Counting Casey and Bret Threat". I don't know about you, but I don't want to be labeled and then lectured. I want good, sound advice from someone who knows that no kid or parent is ALWAYS perfect. The first turn-off for me in this book was a "quiz" that's supposed to tell you what kind of parenting style you have. All this did was put the "good" parents and the "bad" parents in two separate piles with praise going to the "good" or Balanced Parents -- "oh you perfect little parents, you've done your homework and shouldn't even be reading this book!" I think this author needs a few more parenting classes herself! Do yourself a favor. Read 1-2-3 Magic instead!

The only parenting book you'll need!,

This review is from: Kid Cooperation: How to Stop Yelling, Nagging, and Pleading and Get Kids to Cooperate (Paperback)
The minute I saw this book on the shelf I had to have it. I wanted to stop yelling, nagging, pleading and get my kids to cooperate. Who wouldn't? I have three children and have been using the many ideas in this book since I purchased it a year and a half ago. Each time I read it - either cover to cover or just glancing over the great reminder pages - I gain more useful ideas to help me be a successful parent. As my children enter new stages in their life and new parenting challenges are faced, I have the confidence to tackle them head-on by using the techniques that I have learned in this book. I have recommended Kid Cooperation to all my friends and I highly recommend it to you as well. I can't imagine what my family life would be like if it wasn't for this first rate parenting book. It is a must have for every parent.

This review is from: Kid Cooperation: How to Stop Yelling, Nagging, and Pleading and Get Kids to Cooperate (Paperback)
I enjoyed this book but found it a bit superficial. I am a detail person and want to know as much as I can - those 'how' and 'why' questions need to be answered. Kid Cooperation fell a bit short of providing this detail. I turned to a Book, "Systemic Parenting: An Exploration of the Parenting Big Picture" (Gaskill) to fill in the details as to why both parents and kids yell, nag, and plead to get their needs and wants met. Kid Cooperation is a good summary and a basic overview, however, you will want to look elsewhere to get the important detail.
