A Must

I’ve read a lot of books on parenting, and this book is hands down the best, most efficient book I’ve come across yet. It’s short, clear, and offers plenty of examples. I really like the narrator as well.

Take what you need.

I really enjoyed the breakdown. You may not need the whole book but if you're here, at least 3/4 of it.

Extremely informative but very dated.

This information is extremely invaluable and every parent should know these skills. But I feel like this book is now too old, that it should be rewritten. Perhaps with a new title and combined with another author who has a more recent perspective on parenting and relative examples. Sorry Daniel, but your an old grandpa now.

Other than that, this book is an extremely important read.

Solid Overall

A lot of good advice. I didn't agree with all of it but the core tenets were excellent.

Quick and Powerful Read

I liked all the tips. I definitely can make a plan for my youngest child based on the framework provided. I agreed with most of the information and it aligned with my values.

Waste of time

I just read this book. I can't remember anything. Awful writing style, akin to a blog post.
