This large section of more than 100 specific topics is indexed, allowing parents to flip immediately to any areas of concern for witty, straightforward, and gutsy plans of action.EXCERPT FROM CATALOGI've got news for you.

You got a big job to do as a parent, and a short window to do it in. If you believe that you, as a parent, are to be in healthy authority over your child, this book is for you. If you don't believe that you, as a parent, are to be in healthy authority over your child, put this book down right now and buy another.... But I've got a Midas muffler guarantee for you. If you stick to the simple strategies in this book--strategies that any parent can carry out--you'll have a new kid by Friday. You can have a great kid, and you can be a great parent.

This is a great book. I got this book from the library and read it after I had to return it, I was a little sad and so I decided to buy a copy.
Dr. Leman really gives examples of kids and why they do what they do. Then he tells the parent what to do about the behavior. Some of the things , he wants you to do will be hard to do but just like anything if you want something to work you have to follow through.

MUST READ BOOK for those with kids!!

Created: 17/05/10
I like this book for several reasons. First, I think Kevin Leman is one of the best and most straight-forward CHRISTIAN speaker/authors I have ever heard or read. Though he is hard-hitting in his strategies offered in expectations for your children, no one would EVER EVER question Dr. Leman's love for his own kids, and that makes him so much more credible. Secondly, I can ALWAYS use new strategies on how to raise my children better. Some of the recommendations/advice offered in this book is difficult for me as a mother to carry out because I'm too soft-hearted sometimes, but I have seen positive and respectful attitudes emerge in my children when I care enough to do the hard stuff instead of leaving that to my husband. Dr. Leman's use of humor that all parents can relate to at sometime is VERY effective in getting his point across to his audience. This book should be on EVERY parent's bookshelf!!

Not a Godly man's advise.

Created: 12/08/10
I guess I'll be the odd man out. I purchased my copy from a christian book store and expected to get Godly wisdom on parenting my difficult child. I'll just quote a line from the book.... pg. 53 "Then I met Holly's teacher. She was a 24- year old hottie, 2 years removed from her bachelor's degree." There is so much more I dissagree with, this is just an example. I know there are much better books on the market. My advise is keep looking.
