I loved this book! I highly recommend it to any parent. She lays out great information and has research and sources to back herself up. I may parent differently but I will be more informed and make better decisions.

I've read a ton of parenting books but this is definitely the best one I've ever read. I haven't stopped talking about it since I read it about three months ago. It has totally changed my perspective on raising children. I don't think of myself as a helicopter parent but in this book, I was able to see the darker side of parenting in a upper middle class neighborhood. The things we think are going to benefit our children the most are the things that can actually hurt them the most. The most interesting part of this book was about the admissions race to the best colleges. Well worth reading!

This is a must read for all parents and educators!!! Mrs. Chester speaks the truth fom both an educator and parent perspective. The book is an easy read and written with a level of simplicity that everyone can understand. I highly recommend all teachers get a copy and put it in the hands of all your parents.  She is passionate about educatiing our parents and it shows in this book.

This is an excellent read! I was skeptical that this book would be useful for me being a mom of two young children (2 and 5 years old), but it has been very thought provoking and valuable. Many aspects of behavior and how it relates to screen use has already resonated with me as I observe my children. After reading this book I feel much more informed about what I'm seeing and now prepared to be able to make changes. The book is very user friendly and easy to follow. It helps to have personal anecdotes and constructive tools to help aid parents who want to change their children's (or their own) behaviors. I highly recommend this book.

What a great book for all parents of young children.  It speaks to the issues faced by all households - how to make it work, especially when both parents are working.  The author speaks the truth about fathers who don't contribute to their children's lives and makes the point that they are hurting their kids, their wives and themselves.

This book should be the rewuired reading for all parents. We all make mistakes; the biggest is making time for ourselves. I know how hard that is, we all feel our kids deserve the best. Sometimes we forget that to be our best we need to take a break and focus on ourselves. I am a work at home dad, who is the primary caregiver for my kids. This book was extremely helpful for me. I had already started doing DDP yoga daily, but this book helped me put the pieces together, so I was truly able to relax and not think I was taking time from parenting. I haven't looked at a toy room mess, or dirty dishes the same since. It will teach you to be grateful that you have these things to do, it won't last they grow up fast.

This entire series is a staple in my own parenting life and in my life as a doctor.  Recommended to me by a friend and I'm so grateful.  I recommend it to every parent as a must read.  The best book on parenting that I've read because it describes child development beautifully and presents it as a continuum, a trajectory of growth, and emphasizes that children don't all fit into a mold.  They are different, each with gifts.  I love that the author answers parental questions so openly and she doesn't define behaviors described in the questions as pathologic nor make diagnostic statements.  Instead, her statements affirm parents, affirm children, and help parents to see that when children have struggles, they simply need parental help and understanding, need time to develop skills they may be lacking, and have a need for patience and understanding from adults who are quick to over analyze them.  This is book I grab when I'm exhausted at the end of a long "mommy" day and I'm quickly reassured that all is well and my children are beautiful evolving human beings and I need to be patient with myself and with them!!

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in parenting or just interested in self-development. Understanding parenting styles that were prevalent during our childhood helps us go through a self discovery thought process that can make us better persons. Every individual should go through this self discovery process in order to stop the vicious cycle of making the same mistakes in bringing up our children as our parents made with us. If we want our children to jump to the next level of human civilization, every parent or parent to be should understand what this book advocates and care for their children following these guidelines.

This book is a must read for parents of newborns to teenagers. It will challenge, equip and help you build the best environment for your family. From relationship building to parenting techniques, Safe House is a fantastic resource for all parents.

Be ready to begin building a safe house -- where technology and discipline are well utilized. Joshua Straub does an incredible job articulating how we can raise the next generation who live, love and lead well. The impact starts in our homes and this is the book to begin.

This book is one of the best parenting books I have ever read. Although  there seems to be lots of research as to how children act in a social  context, little or nothing has been written for parents.  Ms. Marano makes  a very convincing case that social competence is very important for  children, citing lots of research in a very clear manner (too bad the  publisher decided to leave the references out). She explains in detail what  makes a child well liked by other children and what not. She also points  out that, although social competence is in part a genetic matter, parents  have a lot of influence on their children's social behaviour. She offers  lots of (fun) suggestions for improving children's social skills. I thought  this book was a real page turner and highly recommend it.

"It's Not rocket science, It's Parenthood" is a must read parenting book. A BIG, BIG and BIGGER thank you to Ms. Jackson for writing this book. Having two kids under the age of four, reading this now was perfect timing, although there are golden nuggets even if they were both in their teens. From teaching self-control to rewarding to disciplining, this book will help shape how my wife and I approach raising our children as we nodded along with most, if not all, of what we read. So, so glad to have read this; I will be providing an update in about six months to show how things go!!!!

If you have kids, BUY this book now!!!

I really enjoyed this book.  A must read.  It was a good book providing insight to the long-term implications of child rearing.  I was brought up with conservative parents and a surrounding establishment that condoned this type of behavior as a parent I have resisted doing the same to my kids and this book reminded me that I made the right decision.

Dr. Jenn's book is a must read for parents!  It is easy to follow, practical and supportive. While there are so many issues that busy parents confront on a daily basis, there is very little time left for reading on a variety of topics.  This book helps parents get to the crux of the issues very quickly and easily. Parents can read one chapter at a time and immediately put good information to use!  As a parent educator, I will recommend it to my parenting groups and clients!
