 2008-11-17 - My grandson became potty trained within a week
i gave this book to my daughter and she was having difficulty getting my grandson potty trained. He is two. Within a week of using this book as a guide, he is potty trained.
2008-11-14 - I became an instant believer!
After my pediatrician recommended anger therapy for my 5yo, I thought my world was falling apart. I picked up this book on the advice of a friend and I can honestly say that my boy is now a happy, content, well-adjusted, peace-filled normal child. He understands what it means to be a part of a family, to pull his own weight, and he is finally just not angry any more. I guess he was modeling my behavior - but not anymore! Now I walk away and no longer "vomit" my own anger on him. It took longer than a week, but our problems were bigger than mere disobedience. Now all my children are benefiting from this new method!!!
 2008-11-08 - Easy read, but lacking.
Half of the book is instructional and the other half is question and answer. I read the book in about 2 hours. The information presented is clear, easy to read, entertaining and helpful. Basically the author discusses how to avoid power struggles with your children and still be a firm and loving parent. I would not consider the book a must read. However, it is helpful and a good book to balance out your parenting skills. I do recommend the book.
2008-10-24 - BEST PARENTING BOOK I'VE EVER READ
Very practical and you can put it into action immediately. I have seen major results in my daughter and also got the CDs so I could immerse myself into an action plan. My daughter is 6 and I wish I had this book when she was 1 as there is a section on potty training that would of helped me so much. I highly recommend this book.Have a New Kid by Friday: How to Change Your Child's Attitude, Behavior & Character in 5 Days
2008-10-21 - New Attitude in Both Parent and Child!
"Have a New Kid By Friday", by Dr. Kevin Leman is a down to earth and
simple yet profound solution to solving the constant parental stress that we as
parents often hold onto because we want our children to be the best that
they can be in life. The problem is that our perspective and the child's
perspective on getting to goals are not always the same. The book focuses
on adjusting our attitudes so that we can in turn help our children
develop good character. Some of the best advice on child rearing can be
found in this book such as, "Say it once, turn your back, and walk away."
And, "Let reality be the teacher, respond to your child - don't react, and
'B' doesn't happen until 'A' is done." The book is about loving our
children and in that love, giving them the freedom to become responsible
for their own behavior while maintaining a healthy relationshihp as a
family.
