Why did you have a child?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Dare to Discipline (Paperback)
If you expected a constant flow of affection and appreciation, we are talking about a pet! Even dogs get taught and trained to behave appropriately, so that their company is pleasant. Children are far more precious and in greater need of committed parental devotion, discipline=training in order to become the responsible, kind, loving and productive adults we hope for someday. It doesn't just happen. I picked this book when my oldest was only two, after realizing this parenting thing involved far more than changing diapers and round-the-clock feeding. Having seen the devastating results of no training, neglect and abuse in our own families, I vowed not repeat the same mistakes. I DARED to be a different parent, one that is dead serious about the task. Today our children are 27, 23 and 19. Each one is successful, not only in academics, talents and marketable skills, but also in the excellence of their character. Loving and considerate, they are highly regarded by their employers, spouses and families. I'm thankful for the principles outlined in Dare To Discipline. You don't have to agree with all that suggested in a GOOD book-you need to be wise and choose as your own all that is useful! And then try it out yourself.

A must for parents of a "strong-willed" child,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Dare to Discipline (Paperback)
I firmly believe in Dr. Dobson's approach to raising a child. I also recommend 'The Strong-Willed Child' by Dr. Dobson. These books were life-savers during a very tumultuous time in our house! He teaches discipline with love, love, and more love.

Refreshing and Encouraging and Enlightening,
By
This review is from: The New Dare to Discipline (Paperback)
This is an excellent book for any parent that is concerned about raising respectful children. I am due with my first child in July and became discouraged after seeing children run there parents into the ground and it began to seem like controlling a young child was impossible. I read this practical and logical book and now feel like I have some type of strategy to manage and teach respectful and safe behavior. This book shows that dicipline is ultimately an act of love that children will greatly respect and appreciate.
