Any additional comments?

I have had less success applying the concepts in this book to my strong-willed daughter than to my easy-going son. This may be my fault, of course, as I may not be applying the concepts properly. Time to re-read and see.

A must read book for every parent.

I am eager to start practicing. I'm sure it'll take several readings. if everyone read and applied the principles, in a matter of a couple of generations we'll have no more hate, or wars. yes, I think the book is that powerful.

This is a life-changing, must-read book!

Happier life with your kids awaits you. Your children deserve for you to read and understand the simple and easy tips in this book.
