From Chapter 1: ...most parents do not have a consistent approach to parenting. They use a little of what their parents did, a little of the exact opposite of what their parents did, and a little they picked up from friends, books and magazine articles. Our philosophy in Active Parenting Today is that it is the job of the parent, rather than the child, to play the leadership role in the family. This course will help you clarify your own goals for your child and teach you effective methods for leading your child toward them. But it will do more. It will also teach you a consistent model of parenting, enabling you to act with confidence and clarity as you encounter the many challenges parents face.

This review is from: Active Parenting Today (For Parents of 2- to 12-year-olds) (Paperback)
My children's school offered a parenting class which used this book. After taking the class, I have ordered several copies of this book for my family and friends. Contains practical, handy charts and reference diagrams. This is real world information that works! Wish I had seen it when they were two!

This review is from: Active Parenting Today (For Parents of 2- to 12-year-olds) (Paperback)
While the content is indeed good advice, the book refers to video that obviously the reader may not have seen and has no clue what the content of that video is. I think the overview is somewhat misleading as this book is actually a parents guide to be used with the main program. But........ I will agree that the methods advised are solid.
