Both me and my husbund loved the book. I like that is written by a mother that dealt with this issues first hand. I also love that we gives out actual suggestiona, and yes, they work. I have a 3 year old and i found lots of answers here. There are also chapters dedicated to adolecents. The book has changed my life and parenting style. I would definetly recommend it

This is a wonderful parenting book that has really helped the way I think about my interactions with my kids. A lot of parenting books make me feel depressed, giving me "parental guilt", but this one really has new ideas, helping you look at your own thoughts and reactions to a struggle and make the changes within. (I especially liked that she used Byron Katie's work as a way to really do "the work" around struggles, I have been looking for just this about parenting and was not able to find it before.) These are the changes that can really work. I feel like this is a book I can read again and again as a reminder, and that's why I bought it after I had read a borrowed copy.  I knew I'd be referring back to it all the way through the teen years. And underlining important ideas!

Ron Fournier has some excellent parenting advise for all parents.  His understanding of his son with autism is very deep and he offers sound ways of interacting with that child.  Not all children on the autism spectrum are this easy but the read is helpful to all who interact with children.

This book has made me a better parent, and I was pretty good to begin with, I think.  This book provided me with new tools in communicatiing with my kids (4 and 5).  I am now much more self confident and calm in all phases of parenting. I had been getting more and more stressed when trying to discipline: having to repeat myself often (nagging) and then the timeouts. The kids now cooperate on my first request, enjoy being with me more and I enjoy being with them more. The best part is the kids are happier too! Well worth reading.

This books is a great guide on getting assistance for parents on how to raise their children and where they can get the assistance from. In this day and age children need all the positive support they can get and have positive role models to look up to, to receive the guidance they need to become responsible adults. Ms. Martha, I want to thank you for writing a lot of what good parents have been thinking and saying for years. This is a good read and I recommend it for parents to help understand their children and children around them.

The pressure of parenting can be unbelievably heavy and at times we might begin to feel that we are failing as parents. However, parenting is a whole lot easier when we can admit we do not have all the answers and when we speak openly and honestly with each other about our daily struggles. In 8 Simple Tools for Raising Great Kids, Todd Cartmell tackles many problems we all face as parents and gives some straight-forward advice on parenting.

I found this book to be very easy to read and full of practical advice. Todd Cartmell is a clinical child psychologist and he has been helping parents and children for 20 years. His advice comes from years of working with families in crisis and listening to kids and their parents. I read this book in just a few sittings over a couple of days. I often found myself nodding my head or even cringing as I recognized myself and my husband in his examples.

I loved this book because it is not a book about how to punish your kids when they are bad. Rather, Cartmell delineates the ingredients necessary for effective parenting and lasting relationships. All of the information in the book is useful and includes practical applications. One of my favorite pieces of advice form Cartmell is Listening Tip #3, If you want your kids to be comfortable talking to you, make sure they get plenty of opportunity to practice (p. 50).

There is a seemingly endless supply of unread parenting books gathering dust on bookshelves across the country. Grab this book and you will find that you actually read it because it is so well organized and such a quick read. In fact, you can begin implementing Cartmells ideas on day one.

As a counselor I see parents who are trying to do the best for their children. This book gives tools and insights on how to be a strong and consistent parent with out without the help of the co-parent. It is a good read for all parents.

As soon as you think you have parenting figured out, the kids change things up on you.  This book has some helpful techniques for getting things under control and maintaining a happy family.  One of the more helpful parenting books I've read.

This book is great and filled with tips that relate to our everyday lives and could actually be useful. A lot of parenting books advise you to do things that seem almost impossible, but Samantha Kemp-Jackson really hits the parenting logic nail on the head!!

Really enjoyed this book.  Went thru it with some other couples & really takes a great approach on connected with your kids.  I find myself using the suggestions in the book to deal with my kids - especially during conflict.  No book can tell you how to raise your kids, but this book does give some great insights & suggestions for you as a parent to implement.  It does take time & energy by the parent to make it work though.

This is a helpful book for parents to understand the important basic concepts behind child discipline. The author points out such concepts as parental confidence and example setting among many others. She also points out the reasons why so many parents struggle with disciplining their kids because of the way they treat them. A very worthwhile read.
