Great advice in a beautiful book,
By james lennon (del mar, ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Graceful Parenting: Simple Advice for Raising a Gentle and Loving Child (Hardcover)
This book condenses the advice that the author (a child psychiatrist) has dispensed to families in serious trouble with their children into 25 rules. The book is straight forward, easy to understand and best of all I read it in one sitting. Most parenting books are 300 pages or more and I never get to the end, but this one is easy to read and the 25 rules work. I keep it handy because re-reading the rules is helpful. I think this book makes a great gift, it's illustrated with the author's son's drawings. I recommend this book whole heartedly.

A truly beautiful book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Graceful Parenting: Simple Advice for Raising a Gentle and Loving Child (Hardcover)
I received this book as a gift. It is a wonderful book filled with some very straight forward wisdom for raising a loving child. This is one of those little books that parents can cherish and one day pass along to their children when their children start having children. This book is beautifully illustrated by the authors own 7 year old boy.

This book is so beautifully written and illustrated! Eve's words are so clear, simple, and "graceful" and Noah's art is just breathtaking! Great, great book to give as a gift or to keep for yourself!
