5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful quick trip to being a better parent!, March 16, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The 10 Most Common Mistakes Good Parents Make: And How to Avoid Them (Paperback)
From among the muddle of "Better Parenting" books comes forth this delightful and straight-forward guide. I suspect that no one can read it without improving their parenting style and general outlook on life. I bought several to give to friends. Bill Dingus

This review is from: The 10 Most Common Mistakes Good Parents Make: And How to Avoid Them (Paperback)
Slow hard to get into this book. We are using it as a class book study and having difficulty translating it to the group care of children. May be good reference for the parent.
