Well Respected Philosophy for Raising Good Kids,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Strong-Willed Child (Paperback)
James Dobson is one of my favorite parenting authors although I am not a Christian. I have embraced this philosophy that keeps me in charge without feeling guilty that I am the boss as I try to keep the kids safe and on track. I agree to disagree with him only regarding spanking as I feel there are many other effective ways to discipline children. I like the large scope of information offered in this book...references, anecdotes, personal expereinces and exact words to try in challenging situations. I think this is a well organized book with a variety of helpful information for parents and teachers relating to children of all ages. However, no one book can cover everything from birth through the teenage years in complete detail. Therefore, if you are looking for further information relating to specific challenging behavior/discipline issues regarding teenagers or toddler/preschoolers and would like an entire book on just those specific years, I also highly recommend 2 books in addition to Dobson's classic... ...for parents of teenagers--a book called called "How to Keep Your Teenager Out of Trouble and What to Do If You Can't" ...and for parents of 2-to 5-year-olds--an A-Z trouble-shooting guide called "The Pocket Parent". I recommend Dobson for his well respected underlying philosophy and the other 2 books for tons of additional quick read specific practical how-to's on 2 age spectrums that can definitely test your sanity!

This review is from: The New Strong-Willed Child (Paperback)
Dr. Dobson's books are always insightful words of wisdom. I'm so glad I had them to rely on when I was raising my kids.

Disappointed with the New Strong-Willed Child,
This review is from: The New Strong-Willed Child (Paperback)
I would not recommend this book, except to Evangelical Christians and/or those who believe in corporal punishment. It was very general and anecdotal in nature, and didn't suggest many solutions for dealing with strong-willed children other than spanking.
