Boy, I wish my own mother had read this book when I was growing up! Dr. James Dobson recommended it on a Christian radio station where I live and thank God he did. It can really make a difference if you are feeling out of control at home with your family and need some sense of perspective. The book is well written and is not offensive in any way. It is based on Christian beliefs and the authors offer some well educated tips and suggestions that actually do work. It's very down to earth and has nothing off the wall written in it. Anyone can read it and become a better parent. It's nice because it's not too long either. I recommend it and am buying it for my sister.

I just finished this a few days ago and am already reaping the benefits of not screaming at my kids, ages 3 and 1. When I'm in control of myself, I can deal with all the things that come up. Should be required reading for every mom!

I bought this book by chance (or God's grace) when it first came out and I was raising 4 boys on my own; ages 1, 5, 6 and 9. It was offered as "Today's unadvertised special" during a book order I was placing over the phone. Screaming had become a habit for me in dealing with my children but thank God I read this book! I HIGHLY recommend it to every mother and fathers too, if necessary. My boys (men in some cases) are now 14, 18, 19 and 22 and they are calm and well adjusted even amidst all the other dysfunction they had to endure! If I could attribute any one thing (other than God's grace) to our mutual success (they're still living and I'm still sane!) it would be this book!!! I wish you well. :)

I have read many parenting books and articles. None ever gave me information like this one. This book really changed our lives. I am a reformed screamer. I have not yelled at my kids in over 2 weeks AT ALL. This comes from yelling at all of them several times a day and having many tantrums myself. Many moms tell me that they don't think they can stop yelling at their kids. I tell them they need to read this book. If you yell at your kids, read this book right away.
