Must read for parents at all stages. I didn’t agree with all advise but have been applying most of the methods with great success daily.

Was ok but perhaps I've read too many parenting books and there wasn't that much that new. I think other books have presented parenting advice better.

life-changing

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2021

Enjoyed it so much, really got me thinking about how my upbringing impacts how I behave in the here and now and although I don't have kids now, I took so much away on how I can respond to others and my future kids in a way that's healthier and enables better communication.

good book, I enjoyed

Profile Avatar Vincent G. Apr 2021

I think every parent should read this book because it’s such an eye opener to the world of parenting.

Profile Avatar Pamela A. Feb 2020

I enjoyed this book and it really did give me reason to think over how and why things happened the way they did in my life as a child. Again why parents acted the way they did while I was a nanny and again now the way I act and deal with situations as a parent. Not sure about the baby voices the narrator used though.
