The Child Whisperer,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Child Whisperer (Paperback)
I found this to be a very simply written, lovely book. The first chapter deals with self confidence. Lack of self confidence is the # 1 reason that people can't reach their goals. As a teacher, I know first hand that in a classroom one childs inability to control themself can stand in the way of learning for the whole class. I always make a child calm down and look at me when I speak to them. So many parents speak to their children in a off-handed way and then wonder why their kids are fresh back. The way the author talks about kids thinking that just saying "I am sorry!", makes up for bad behavior is very familiar to me and I will deal with it in a different manner next time.As the mother of a teenager the chapter on self disipline was of special intrest. The book would be a nice gift for a teenager. As I try to define success in my own life I felt very bolstered in reading the authors words on failure as a part of growth, and the value of honesty and kindness in our daily lives. Although the chapter on community isn't patriotic in it's language, it is a simple picture of the best parts of community that we can all prctice daily. I call this type of book a "gift" book, (that is how I received it, and I am giving it as a baby shower gift) or a "pocketbook" book" or one I carry with me a take out over and over! I enjoyed it very much!

Simple Solutions to Complex Issues,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Child Whisperer (Paperback)
Everyone who touches the life of a child should read The Child Whisperer. Mr. Pasquinilli's philosophies is as valuable as it is basic: Put your children first, and teach them well. Becoming a positive role model in the life of a child promotes happiness and health. Children who are loved grow up to become loving adults. Their children grow to become loving adults, and thus the cycle perpetuates. Feed your children "poison" and they harden and die mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. We reap what we sow. The Child Whisperer is a beacon in the mire of societal corruption. Read the book and practice the philosophies it exemplifies. Our children depend on us.

Easy to read - not condescending.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Child Whisperer (Paperback)
This is a simple book. No fancy language or overdefinition of ideas. You can read it and then use it right away and it works. The best part about this book is that you can read it in an hour or less. I find that I am constantly rereading parts of it as I try the techniques in the book. I have read so many books that leave me feeling like I am stupid and a bad parent. The Child Whisperer doesn't talk down to me and I am so grateful.
