Very Helpful,
By "marou629" (Odessa, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Constructive Parent (Paperback)
I found the book to be very insightful and it gave me some wonderful tips on dealing with my four sons. I used some of the information and tactics right away and saw behaviorial changes that I like! Its not too preachy, which is good. Very practical, concise, I recommend it to the parent who wants new ideas without having to read a "novel" size manual!

The Best Parenting Advice I've Read!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Constructive Parent (Paperback)
Dr. Buschhoff's book has made an impact on my life and my children's lives (ages 11 and 5). He is able to give realistic advice on how to encourage your children to learn the values you want them to without preaching to the reader (parent) his own values. The book is very readable with interesting and helpful scenarios. I couldn't put the book down and even read sections to my husband, who will be reading it soon. The illustrations are very creative. I think this book should be read by every parent and parent-to-be. It is a great gift for expecting parents.
