He gives an overview of many programs that parents can choose from and then attend the parenting classes to learn about the program works. Support is given to the parents attending the classes.Anita_Gatson wrote: ↑10 Mar 2018, 17:13 Thank you for your thorough review. Over several years I've worked with many children from pre-school to 18. Although having to be a part of many training sessions as part of job descriptions I've never been a fan of "parenting books" because I feel that others can only offer suggestions and opinions on how to deal with behavioral and other issues children have. I'm not aware of any proof that "parenting books" have shown to be helpful in any area of a child's upbringing.

Most of it is actually relevant to today's world. The programs discussed all focus on positive parenting. Physical punishment is taboo in all of the programs. That is a major reason that I was shocked by the gender comment. One of the things I really liked is that it reminds parents that they aren't perfect and it's never too late to fix their errors.SpiderDreamer1 wrote: ↑10 Mar 2018, 20:22 This sounds interesting if a bit outdated in some respects (the gender comment). What are some other areas that you feel could use a tad more of an enlightened touch?

I had a difficult time getting past it. It was the opposite of the rest of the book.kislany wrote: ↑15 Mar 2018, 01:16 I'm not a mom, so this book will not be for me. When you mentioned the "appropriate gender functioning," I went quickly to Amazon to see when the book was actually published: 2017. That's incredible. To use a well-worn cliche, in this time and age, this should not be happening.

It was very disturbing. It was also surprising as it didn't really fit the rest of what the author expressed.

The book gives an overview of a variety of different methods. The focus is on positive approaches as that is better for a child's mental health.

I have never seen a book with links in it other than for the author's website but that actually is a wonderful tool that can be incorporated into e-books. I agree that it would deter parents from having that "I'll check it out later" mentality where they will completely forget about it.
Great review. Do you think this book is appropriate for care-givers as well as parents?

I wouldn't recommend it to caregivers as the parents should be choosing their overall philosophy and system, and then passing it on to the caregivers.kfwilson6 wrote: ↑05 Apr 2018, 14:19 I like your suggestion for a comparison chart. Maybe the author can incorporate that in the future. It's great that he includes explanations for why a particular strategy should be incorporated, not just a how-to.
