I bought my daughters copies of this book so they could read it too.  I wish I had some of the insight in this book when I was a young woman, it would have made a big difference to me.

This book was very informative on the subject of immunization. Any parent considering immunizing their children should read this book first. I wish this information had been available to my parents when I was a child, had they read this book it might have saved my sister and I years of immunization related problems. My husband and I chose not to immunize our children based on what happened to my sister and I. This book would also have been a big help at the time to help our families understand the reason we made the choices we did.

This is something everyone should read... Now I know why so many people are so screwed up, including me... Any parent who doesn't read this and knows about it being available is derelict and will deserve what they will get... This book made me think and cry.... jack

I wish my mother and my father would read this book. I'm out of the nest, but I worry about my younger sister. It's not fun when the divorce isn't peaceful. No kid wants to take sides. This guy, Leland Stockwell, made a real effort.  So did his ex-wife.  People who're divorced ought to read this book... for the sake of their children.

I remember my parents reading this book to me when I was a kid. Now , I read it to my children and pass on the message of believing in yourself.

I wish I had picked this book up years ago.  After getting this in the mail I read the entire thing within two day and all I can say is if you think you could benefit from this book, then you are right!  A must read for anyone who had/has an alcoholic parent that affected their childhood.

Through this book and seeking therapy, I have made the choice to no longer let my childhood experiences affect me and my ability to seek a meaningful intimate relationship.  I have voiced to my sober parent that I will no longer contribute to what has been keeping our family apart for nearly 23 years, and the sentiment is that they wish I had said something much, much sooner.

This book will change your life, or at least how you look at it.

I wish Melanie Jane Nicolas had written this book about 60 years ago, and that my parents had given it to me for Christmas, my birthday, Ground Hog's Day, or for no other reason than that they loved me.

Melanie has distilled the very essences of vital financial knowledge into bite-size and easily digested morsels that ironically will prove to be as valuable to adults as to kids.

It is not a stretch to say that if this book HAD been available 60 years ago, and a best-seller as it will no doubt become, today's world economy would look significantly different.

PLEASE grab copies of Melanie's book for your kids and grandkids.

A fabulous book, very technical at times, but brutally honest.  It has given me the true ammunition for explanations to my childrens questions as to why they should not have such an such junk food.  It is very convincing to pull out the right page and read the info to them.  I am a former psychiatric nurse of children and adolescents, and I wish I had had this information then, I think it could have made a world of difference in their treatment.  As a mother of four, from ages 21 months to 13 years, and being pregnant also, the information covers my family in every way imaginable.  I intend to send a copy to my sons principal at his middle school, because I feel that these are the people who MUST read this book and become instrumental in implementing improved eating habits in schools, and increasing awareness in both students and parents.

I think every parent who realizes that their child is self-destructing and needs a second chance to start their young life again should read this book. Personally, from having experienced a very similar situation with an adolescent, I feel it is very accurate and would be quite helpful in the decision making process, which is expensive and fraught with fear, self-doubt and second-guessing.  As we see in this book, sometimes parents must take a risk to save a child.  Should be required reading for parents with adolescent children.

This book hit home and hit hard which could have made me depressed but with Dr. Mike's unique sense of humor, I was able to lighten up a little and laugh at myself. The title should have a subtitle about saving parents, too, because that's how I felt as I read it. My son's early years were equally stressed (for both of us) and even though Dr. Bradley's book speaks to our family's issues still, I wish I had this book 10 years ago. This book is not only ABOUT understanding and managing teens' thinking/behavior (and our own), but, is also FOR young adults who are overwhelmed with the forces of our society and our expectations of them as mature adults, which is why I bought it. I have it on Kindle and carry it with me everyday. So far, I've gotten my son to read the forward. We're headed toward the intro...so wish me luck!

Unfortunately, my parents backed out and 30 years later they are still bailing him out of jail.  They have soured their relationships with their other 4 children because they refused to practice tough love on their one child.

Now I'm thinking about writing a book called, "We Still Love You, Mom & Dad" because we have been forced to practice tough love on our parents.

I've thought about this book for 30 years, though, and it has provided great insight into what needed to be done, even though my parents never did it.

If you're struggling with a problem child that refuses to grow up, I highly recommend this book for its timeless insight.
