Summary: The one book to buy if you are a parent
Comment: I can't stress enough how good this book is.
With the experience of decades of research at Utah State University, Dr. Latham (who I had the pleasure to meet last year) distills loving, scientifically-proven guidelines and advice for parents.
This is _not_ a book trying to capitalize on parenting. It is a result of decades of research and experience, explained in the loving voice of Dr. Latham.
It explains why parenting is something we must learn how to do, not something we can (very successfully) do based solely on "popular knowledge" or on how your parents raised us (because neither of these may be correct; most of 'popular knowledge' is incorrect and the world has simply changed -- a lot -- since our parents raised us, hence the importance of learning scientifically-proven guidelines).
The principles explained in great details (and with lots of real cases) in this book are applicable to children of _every_ age, from new-born, to adults.

Summary: The parenting book I was looking for my whole life!
Comment: I can't recommend this book highly enough! I came from a home where the parents were no doubt trying, but had very few parenting skills. We were basically hit and told how awful we were. I came away from my home only knowing what I DIDN'T want to do as a parent, but having no idea what TO do.
I love children and always wanted a big family. And I feel like I've read just about every parenting book out there, in my search to learn how to be a kind, loving, yet in control parent. This book showed me HOW to be the kind of parent that I have always yearned in my heart to be. It not only tells you what you should be doing (along with the research that proves that THIS is the most effective way to raise children!), but shows you step-by-step EXACTLY how to do it.
I give this the highest recommendation that a book could ever receive. Five stars aren't enough! Your children will love you for following the guidelines in this book, and you'll love Glenn Latham for how happy your family will become.

Summary: Kid tested, Mother approved!
Comment: In the last few years, I have had over a dozen continuing education (adult) college students (who were parents themselves) use this book with their own families as class projects for a developmental psychology course I teach. All students reported substantial improvements in their home lives and in the interactions with their children. This book continues to be one of the best sources for demonstrating the effectiveness of behavioral principles in real world situations. We owe it to our children to be the best parents we can be!
