We give this to every prospective new parent without fail because it is THE BEST. No other way to put it. Our 8 yr old is an incredible kid because she can talk to us, we can talk to her, we all understand how to comunicate and understand each other, and what to do when we don't. It has helped us through deaths, moves,toilet training, fears, "bad" friends, school, misbehaviors, social situations, etc. There is a special place in the afterlife for these authors. They have made our family a success. The dialogue will sound contrived and phony to readers at first, but please trust us when we say-IT WORKS! Now it seems as normal as can be, and is the only way I will ever interact with a child (or certain adults!)from now on!

This book is informative. It is concise, and easy to read. It gives many helpful examples. It also gives great deal of alternatives for difficult situations you find yourself in with your children. It has many ideas which are similar to "Children the Challenge." Another very helpful book. I started using the ideas of this book and saw immediate results in my children and myself.

This book is an easy to read book that can add some very helpful tools to your parenting "tool belt". I facilitate effective parenting classes and use this book as the text book.

I took the STEP parenting training when my own children were young. I recommend it for parents, new and experienced.

This book is full of great easy to follow parenting ideas that work for every situation. There are lots of fabulous examples so everything is easy to understand.

Excellent book. So is the STEP for teens. It is my bible. My girls are now 20 and 18 and I still use this book as a guide. Our community center has taught this course for many years. Can't say enough about it. Works on children and adults.

CARE, Community Assessment Referral & Education of Fraser, MI purchases this book to accompany the STEP (Systematic Training For Effective Parenting) classes that we offer. We find the book a useful tool for guiding parents with young children through the challenge of raising confident, self-respecting, happy, healthy children.

My daughter's doctor recommended this book when I asked about discipline of a toddler. I thought it was all pretty "duh" information. Then again I am a elementary school teacher so I've had a lot of training in behavior modification. I was disapointed it didn't spend more time discussing time out and discipline techniques.
