Good Ole Christian Sound Advice!

Love this - it’s like getting parenting advice from your wise grandparent in these modern times!

Still applicable - Especially in the age of chaos

This book on parenting spurs and encourages the parental unit to hold fast to tried and true values, founded in biblical principles, for stubborn children. It’s focus is more on the strong willed child, which makes reading Dr. Dobson’s “The New Strong Willed Child” a must; they complement each other very well. I would recommend this book to any parent that is seeking to raise their children to be successful, kind, loving and beneficial contributing members of society.

Very Good Read

I strongly recommend this book for any parent and to maybe read it over again when feeling discouraged as a parent.....we aren't perfect, this book however encourages you to keep working and points out how "normal" it is to feel defeated, but to never loose heart. The only negative is if you have read other Parenting Books by Dr. Dobson, such as, "The Strong Willed Child" & "Bringing Up Boys", it does repeat some of the same stories/examples. But they can always be reiterated!

Another winner for Dobson (no surprises there)

Great book by Dr. Dobson! The narrator was very good except for mispronouncing "Danae" (Da-nay).
