5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on parenting I have ever read., September 16, 1999

This review is from: The Power of a Parent's Words (Paperback)

This book is a wonderful book for new and old parents alike. It helps new parents plan and develop good skills for communicating and disciplining their children, but it also helps established parents see the verbal patterns that create long term negative effects in their children. I highly recommend it!

This review is from: The Power of a Parent's Words (Paperback)

This book is a wonderful reminder to parents how their words can hurt or help their children. Chapter 6 "Let's Ban the Toxic Verbal Weapons" ends with a great evaluation chart for parents to see if they are using toxic verbal weapons. Chapter 8 "Messages that Discount, Messages that Nurture" is helpful in understanding how words and tone of voice can effect children. I heartily recommend this book to all parents.
