5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely, Positively a "Must-Read" for Anyone With Kids..., August 5, 2001

If you're looking to have kids, drop what you're doing and get this practical, hands-on workbook that will teach you more common-sense child rearing attitudes and actions than any book I've seen. It's all laid out simple, easy-to-read format and all the information is highly applicable to anyone looking to raise happy, healthy kids.

Mr. Hafner's "12 Foundation Stones" have become a family constitution for me and my kids. This is a great, great book! I highly recommend it for anyone planning to have kids, or who is currently rasing little ones, like I am.

5.0 out of 5 stars An applicable tool for todays kids!, August 6, 2001

What a great book! Well written, easy to follow and applicable to children of all ages. Mr. Hafner appears to have done his homework. The twelve "foundation stones" or areas Mr. Hafner covers are critical to the sound development of children. The exercises are great tools to help parents prepare their children for a well balnced life of value. An easy read with sound principles that will pay huge dividends for children and parents alike.

I found the exercises outlined at the end of each chapter extremely valuable. In going through the exercises you get to know your child and understand him/her better. This was a really neat surprise for me. As a parent I feel that this is probably an area that is often overlooked in our child rearing. This book makes getting to know how your child thinks and what they think about simple. The exercises help prepare kids, in a simple, and understandable way, for life. Whether that is going to grade school soon, high school and work later or college in the future.

It's never too late to start doing a great job as a parent and this book makes it possible. If you aren't sure exactly how to raise descent, responsible, clear thinking kids than this is a great resource. If you already think you know how, I would recommend the book anyway becuase when it comes to raising kids you don't want to leave things to chance and Mr. Hafner pretty much covers all the bases. Well done!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock Solid Families, August 6, 2001

By 

T Ramsey (Silver Spring, MD United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Build Rock Solid Kids (Hardcover)

"It takes a village to raise a child..." True? But so often today, there is little or no family support. It takes someone like Keith Hafner, who truly cares about children and families, to really help parents. Mr. Hafner has given busy parents several, easy to do exercises to bring families closer together and if needed change a child and family for the better. The biggest benefit of doing these projects is attention children will receive from the parents. I immediately found things that I wanted to change about my parenting, and I think of myself as a good parent.
