Summary: Very Good, but not THE ANSWER TO ALL PROBLEMS
Comment: In 1849, gold was discovered in California, and thousands rushed West to find their fortunes. Some did find a fortune, some found some gold, and some were left penniless. This book is not quite that situation, but close. There are some very good ideas in this book, which is part of a set put out by Cline and Fay. The authors clearly understand quite a bit about attachment theory, behavior management, and parenting. They have put their ideas together into a good package of explanations, techniques, exercises, and workshops. Thus the book has definite value.

Here comes the "however". However, when reading this, and related books, the reader gets the feeling that, for millenia, parents did not quite know the right way to parent their children, and the authors have finally discovered it for us. The theories and techniques get applied to every situation, with case histories of success. This is an over-simplification. Cline and Fay do have some research backing up their ideas, but there is nothing really new here, except for some of the phrases (some of which are very useful: "Not my problem", "What do you plan to do about that?"). There is a zealousness to the writing that, without directly stating it, gives the reader the feeling that "THE ANSWER TO ALL PROBLEMS" has been found. Some of the case histories sound like testimonials on an infomercial.

I am a practicing clinical psychologist who works with children and families. There IS valuable material in this book. If the methods are stated clearly and applied consistently, children's behavior will probably improve. However, there are many benign theories of parenting involving well-researched behavioral techniques, any of which, if applied clearly and consistently, will have the same results. Read the book, use it well, but don't expect it to be a panacea.

Summary: This book has changed my thinking and my life...
Comment: I couldn't put this book down for days, it had so much information that I needed to help change my thinking. Right away I used the ideas and boy did things change around the house. I am a single parent and just didn't know how to get around the constant problems of reasoning with a strong willed child. I recommend this book to all parents even if you think you are doing all the right things. You will find great help and your life will be easier.

Rating: 5
Summary: This book has ALL the answers we needed!
Comment: Writing a review that a book is excellent but there are excellent answers elsewhere, too, is absurd. That is not a review. It is a defense of other views.

The philosophies in this book are easy to read and understand and apply, and they WORK. It is great for both the Christian and secular world.
