I really liked this book, we have been using it for awhile now. The only thing is it's hard to draw the line sometimes. Like to decide when to count the child or when to choose your battles and let it go. I think it's a great book though and can be used by almost anyone.

I read this book three months ago, and I keep it on my nightstand so that I can easily refer back to it. Dr. Weiss and Dr. Wagner provide clear guidance on how to handle and, better yet, avoid difficult behaviors. Their advice is invaluable.
I have employed the approach discussed in the book, and my family is much better off as a result.
Many thanks to these experts for sharing their wisdom!

This book is one of the few I have read that really speaks at a parents level. You can relate to many of the examples given in this book. I have also watched Real Families and the methods described in this book really work. This book is definitely worth your time! A++++++
