This review is from: ParentFix (Kindle Edition)

This book absolutely changed our lives. We have become better parents and better people for having been introduced to th is revolutionary way of parenting. My husband and I read this book together and then implemented changes in how we parented, then re-read the book and got more out of it the second time. We have become the parents we wish we would have had. This book should be given out at the hospitals to every parent! If everyone lived by the principles in this book society as a whole would be better.

Evereytime you read it you gain a new understanding of what Maggie intends for your safe haven. It wasn't easy at first, but it is worth every second you out into it. It was even very healing for someone who came from an abusive home.
