Unabridged Audiobook
Sensible, useable advice. Well written and scientifically based.
This book offers parents some great strategies when dealing with your children. Some realistic, others may be more difficult to conquer.
VERY unrealistic advice that shelters children. Yes, loving and nurturing your child is key but this goes beyond what is healthy development. Premise of the book is to cater to child’s immediate needs with little boundary and concern for the real world. This is a classic recipe for entitlement and is what appears to be wrong with young adults in today’s world. Unfortunately, teachers, professors, and bosses are not living by this book’s theory...once your child leaves your immediate reach, they will not be prepared for what comes ahead.
This book has changed my life. I appreciate all the advice and explanations. Makes me understand how people feel and what we all need. It’s so helpful for any parent. I also think it helps when dealing with adults having big feelings. It’s allows you to understand in a way that you can see when someone is having a hard time and then you can focus on the feeling and not just the behaviour. It’s making all big emotions in our house feel more manageable.
Excellent. It teaches about connection, instead of letting our emotions get the best of us. Great advice. This world needs more peace, and this book helps.
I followed this system (along with the whole brain child), which I read and applied when my daughter was 1 year old. She's now 11 years old, completely self disciplined, self aware and in control almost all the time. She's been like this pretty much her whole life and I completely attribute this accomplishment to the guidance from these authors. Some of the detractors simply don't understand how psychology works and are painting this method with their own misconceptions. All these books teach are tools for you and for you to teach your kids to master their emotions and behavior more in control as they navigate the world. Anyone reducing this to 'coddling' them simply don't have any interest in giving their kids an advantage in life. I'm rereading this because my new girlfriend has a young one who has been really difficult to manage and I need a refresher. It's a great tool for coaching your kids - that's the ideal role you should have - in working though their internal struggles.
Voices were a little low to be heard right, it repeated the same things over and over again, some advices were Ok, some were absolutely unrealistic, I think it’s a book to read/hear once, take what you can and that’s it, would not hear it again, overall I was bored, waiting for it to finish
Well written book with great information. Very good narrator
Very interesting I learned a lot!
