I highly recommend this easy-to-read, interactive parenting workbook to parents pulling their hair out, wondering how to achieve cooperation and not struggles between them and their kiddos. I have been using this book in a course I teach for families since it first came out in the '70's. The practical information and easy-to-implement suggestions contained in it are timeless. Although the strategies are entirely uselful for parents of any child, this book is particularly helpful for parents with children whose behavior is difficult to manage, whose children have language processing disorders, or other learning difficulties.

This great little book has been designed to help parents learn to be more effective parents by becoming more effective teachers of their children. This proven program shows parents how to systematically use consequences to teach children in positive ways what children need to learn to become effective people.

Thanks to PARENTS ARE TEACHERS, my children and I benefitted from my improved parenting skills. Today, I am a family therapist and I always recommend this book as a MUST READ for all parents.

I highly recommend this book to parents of behaviorally challenged children and to the people in parenting classes I have taught. Its approach empowered us to reach and teach our oldest son whose disabiities include autism. We received it years ago when he was in a psychiatric hospital program modeled on the book's principles. In simple, clear language, using a programmed format any parent could understand, the book teaches what really reinforces behavior, how to avoid power struggles, and how to develop habits that promote cooperation and good behavior. What worked for our son worked even better for the five children who followed him. It probably made having them possible. This is the most helpful parenting book I have ever used.

I used this book in a Parenting class I went to in the early 80's. I had 3 kids - all boys - in 4 years and this book helped me to discipline without yelling or getting angry at my children. People who didn't know us always commented how well behaved my children were. The book was invaluable to us as a family.

I don't have much to say, but the author was my Dad, he passed away in October of 2000, but this book has become a main stay for parents for years and years. So this may be biased, but I think it is a great book.

I would consider this book to be a good parenting resource, it has helpful exercises for parents and educators. The examples and language are a bit dated, but a lot of the information is worthwhile.

This is an excellent book. It teaches you how to get over the bumps with the kids and their behavior and then teaches you how to do certain 'exercises' with each situation.
