 Great parental advice September 2, 2008

Dr. Kevin Leman's book Have a New Kid by Friday is a must read for all parents. It offers great advice to parents with kids from infants adolescents. I found it to be one of the most valuable parenting helps I have ever read.

This is the best book a parent could read. It came just at the right day. If you have kids, you need this book. I thought I was a pretty good parent, I know I can make my life a whole lot better for me and my whole family.
Have a New Kid by Friday August 31, 2008

As a teacher of over 25 years and a mother of three young adults, I found this book to be refreshing. There are too many parents today who are letting their children tell them what to do, where to go, and how to do it. This book reminds parents to be parents and gives them practical and easy examples that they can use in their families. This is also an excellent book for teachers who may have a difficult student and want to find a way that will help that child turn around and become a productive learner.
 Get Positive Discipline by Jane Nelsen instead August 21, 2008

What a letdown! Listen, if you think your kids are "hedonistic little suckers," then maybe this book is right for you. There is very little content; it's the informational equivalent of junk food from McDonalds. An example of the kind of advice you'll get: if you ask your child to take out the trash and they forget, then let them guess why you won't take them to the store sometime in the future. The Guess Why I'm Not Happy Technique has never worked with my dear husband; why would anyone expect it to work with a child? I wouldn't call that Assertive Parenting, would you? I'd call that Passive-Agressive parenting, and who needs a book for that?
 Slightly Disappointed August 16, 2008

After the reviews I read I thought for sure this book would be a cure-all for the problems with my 3 year old. Unfortunately, many of the examples set & ideas to follow are aimed at older kids, and are mostly common-sense. I would still recommend this book to anyone with kids older than 6, and anyone lacking common sense in raising your kids.
