Book Description

October 1, 2009

Best known as The Family Coach, Dr. Lynne Kenney shows parents of children ages 3 to 8 (the critical years for developing values and behavior patterns) how to create specific, foundational life skills that will stay with children through good times and bad. Combining the practicality of Supernanny with the creative problem solving of a super sleuth, Dr. Kenney helps busy families of young children identify core values and create long-term, practical child-rearing strategies that work with a minimum of time investment. She gives parents the words and actions to teach their children how to grow into independent, confident, compassionate, accountable kids. The Family Coach Method is a friendly, illustrated how-to manual of strategies, tips, real-life stories and solid support, structured for quick reference. Filled with age-appropriate sample conversations and problem solving scenarios, the book guides a family to a place of mutual respect, shared values and strengths: a winning team.

This review is from: The Family Coach Method: Raising Good, Kind, Ethical Kids 3 to 8 (in a Complicated World) (Paperback)
I was very impressed with Dr. Kenny's easy approach to redirecting childen's challenging behaviors. The best part is that I've tried several of her coaching strategies and they actually work. She is brilliant. You will enjoy her insight and strategies in creating a peaceful, enriching home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your typical parenting book! Practical advice you can immediately apply!, September 13, 2009
This review is from: The Family Coach Method: Raising Good, Kind, Ethical Kids 3 to 8 (in a Complicated World) (Paperback)
As a mother of 3, I've read many parenting books over the years. Lynne Kenney's book stands out above the rest! I've been able to immediately apply her practical advice and am already seeing results with my children. The activities at the end of each chapter gave me an opportunity to practice the methods and engage my kids in the process. It's so good you'll be buying copies for your friends!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Practical Tips, September 2, 2009
By 
MM (Scottsdale AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Family Coach Method: Raising Good, Kind, Ethical Kids 3 to 8 (in a Complicated World) (Paperback)
Dr. Kenney has written an excellent parenting book with practical and useful tips that are easy to implement right away. The book is packed with the whys and hows of raising thoughtful, responsible and conscientious children. The activities are fun for families and the parenting examples relate to real-life situations with easy-to-follow solutions. Dr. Kenney's tone is very charming, witty and sincere, making the book a pleasure to read. I highly recommend this to book to parents of children 3-8. Even the most well-read of parents will find useful information and practical tips.
