5.0 out of 5 starsThis Book has Everything, and is Easy to Read
By justmyopinion on February 6, 2006
Format: Paperback
I have read a lot of child raising books, and I think this book is very helpful as it succinctly covers most of (what I think) are the most important topics. It is 129 pages, though is fairly large print, has charts, and bulleted items, and is easy to read/ refer back to. It is written by Dr. Daniel Amen, a child psychiatrist.

There are 25 chapters encompassed in this 129 page book. Thus each topic is quickly, and succinctly covered in an easy to read format. Some chapter titles are "Different Parenting Styles, Why Children Struggle, Why Parents Struggle, Clear Steps to Improve the Quality of your relationship with your Child, Managing Public Misbehavior, Reinforcing your child's Positive Behavior, etc. There are also checklists to check for different types of ADD/ADHD

Some points in the book are:

1. "Special Time is the Best Investment you can make with your Children"

The book also discusses, goals for parents, and children, common traps, Family Rules which Dr. Amen suggests are posted in the house (Tell the Truth, No Arguing with Parents, Respect each other's Property, Do what Mom and Dad say the First Time, etc.)

The book reviews the importance of (and how to be) Consistent, Time Outs, etc.

It sounds basic, but really parenting should be basic. I think this book fairly succinctly covers the main things parents and children need to do for an effective relationship/childraising experience. If you are familiar with other childraising books, it incorporates similar ideas to "Love and Logic", "How to Talk so Kids will Listen ...", and "Parenting the Strong Willed Child", among others.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsOutstanding Book, a must read
By J. Earl on January 11, 2007
Format: Paperback
If you are a parent who has a difficult child, or if you're just looking to sharpen your parenting skills this book is a MUST READ. By applying Dr. Amen's steps our parenting skills have gone from frantic and out of control to peaceful and in complete control. I've recommended this book to all my friends with children, whether they have difficulties with them or not.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood Read
By AC75 on March 9, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a cute and easy read about some common sense practices that could be easily over looked. It's a great book to remind a frazzled parent of the basics that get lost in the day to day grind. There's nothing earth shattering in it, but I would recommend it.
