Taking some of the frustration out of parenting

I appreciate the fact that the outcome of successful boundaries is discussed. This book points out the reasons to stand firm and an idea of which battles to pick all for the sake of your child's development. It focuses on how to help your child grow in healthy emotional and moral ways.

A Must read. A Nearly Flawless Book.

This book is virtually perfect. I have read it possibly 10 times, and as a teacher and a parent I keep finding new ideas and insights that I could only understand after acquiring more life experiences. The Audible version gives extra credibility to the knowledge acquired from the book-you can hear the speakers' kind tone and confidence.
The matters discussed are of great complexity, but as Mark Twain said something like: "I don't have time to write you a short letter", the beauty and greatness of this book is that those mattars are explained with great clarity and simplicity. Only a lifetime of professional and personal experience and a very clear mind, could produce such profound and potentially complicated ideas, in such simple words.
The writers (and narrators) are devout Christians, so you might think that this book is not for everyone. But this book's ideas, examples, and generally, human needs and child development principles, are universal, so the devout Christian tone comes off as a beautiful and harmonious, and a natural part of the book. I recommend reading/listening to it, and possibly, like me, you will enjoy it still after a few readings.

a must read

amazing knowledge to raise our kids you can't read this and not become a better parent

Abridgment

I wish this wasn’t an abridgment, I would’ve given it five stars if it was the full book. Otherwise I enjoyed it very much and learned a lot.

very good

I needed this! I didn't learn hardly any of this growing up.

The authors gave me principles... and also examples to help me visualize these abstract ideas in everyday life. Very good teaching!

Prayers for misfit children

Would have liked more active examples of dealing with teens and adult children.
It is good to read for all ages of children, but need more depth and examples of dealing with tantrums and adult tantrums. My Step kids are nightmares and at 36 and 37 nothing works. Prayer seems to be the only answer. I also need more to act on.

Fantastic well presented tutorial

Very interactive and engaging presentation . With humor in between and real life examples. Thanks a lot

Take note if you are referring to the book

Where does Boundaries with Kids rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I find the " Talking to Toddler" has a better structure. It goes according to chapter by chapter. Is easy for us to replay again.

Have you listened to any of Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Nope. this is the first one. I am expecting the audio to be the same as the book. The book has more detail explanations. Is hard to read and listen at the same time as we need to jump que when referring to the book.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Boundaries with Kids

I have children, I needed this book.
