Summary: Waited a Long Time
Comment: I've waited a long time to find a book like this. While I probably don't agree with all the author's political views or all of his opinions, the majority of his thoughts on child-raising are clear, direct, and right on. For me, his three basic premises seem to be: 1) How do you have a happy well-adjusted child? Answer: Focus on your marriage; 2) It is human nature to modify your behavior only when it is inconveniencing YOU, not because it is inconveniencing others; and 3) Discipline is a very different thing than punishment. His many humorous anecdotes about what did (or didn't) work with his own kids are entertaining and helpful (particularly the one regarding his daughter's procrastinated science project). I would definitely recommend this book to new parents and/or parents who have hit a brick wall with the many other ineffective child discipline methods out there.

Summary: Very Helpful
Comment: As a cosleeping, attachment parenting mom I thought I had it all figured out until my first child turned 2. Suddenly, everything fell apart and I didn't know where to turn. The AP advice just didn't work anymore - then I found this book! Though I didn't agree on every point, the basic philosophy makes sense - and works! It's a breath of fresh air not to be at the mercy of my 30 month old any more. Rosemond gives moms permission to take charge, to teach and discipline their children. I'm finally proud of my daughter's behaviour again! I highly recommend this book. It would be a good idea to read it back to back with "The Continuum Concept" by Jean Leidloff to get a different perspective on cosleeping etc. while reinforcing the authoritative/non child-centered parenting style.

Summary: Finally, what I needed to hear!
Comment: After reading so much of the same stuff that advocates child-centered parenting, I was so excited and relieved to read something that teaches us how to go back to the values and parenting styles of the past--the ones that worked! Rosemond recommends several "tactics" that in my heart I knew were right, but didn't really know how to put into action. This a wonderful book--informative and entertaining. I laughed out loud a few times! Now, I just need to get my husband on board....
