By	karen "karen22202" (California) - See all my reviews

Lisa Dunning's book, "Good Parents Bad Parenting" offers useful and creative excersises, games and information on how to strengthen not only my relationship with my child but with my husband as well.

My husband and I generally agree on parenting, but this book helped us iron out the areas where we disagreed.

I found Lisa Dunning's book to be very helpful with my family. My husband loved that the man's point of view was represented.

I recommend this book to everyone who is a parent.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Great Parenting Book!!!!, March 4, 2006

By	parent of 4 - See all my reviews

Obviously Mamma Bamma did not read Good Parents Bad Parenting. This book was nothing on how she described it. Lisa Dunning offered great support and advice for parents to get on the same page. The book never blamed parents nor did it imply if you did x then you are a bad parent, only the contrary. Good Parents Bad Parenting was a very supportive and well thought out book. There were also a lot of research and support to back up Lisa Dunning's views.

I recommend this book to everyone who is a parent-It really helped my realtionship with my husband as well as improved my parenting skills.
