Summary: An Excellent Guide
Review: This book could definitely use some editing, but the ideas are wonderful. Even better, he gives actual scenarios and things to say to your children - actual steps to follow. I've been using the tips with my 2-year-old son, and it has worked wonders. So far, my son has confirmed all the things Dr. Gray says about children. A wonderful guide to the most difficult and most important job in the world!

Summary: Positive, worthwhile message; poorly written book
Review: This book has a wonderful message for parents. It is too bad the book is tediously repetitive and has obvious editing errors. It was encouraging to get support for not being on the logical/natural consequences bandwagon; my sensitive child responded with feelings of negative self-worth when she experienced such consequences. It is also nice to be encouraged to be loving and supportive of your children and not be accused of spoiling them or making them too dependent on you. It is truly unfortunate more time was not taken to make the material more presentable.

Summary: Great theories but little editing
Review: This book has some wonderful theories that I hope to practice,but reading through this book was tedious because of the lack ofediting and repetition. I feel like marking up the book and returning it to the publisher, if only I had time. This book needs to be edited and re-released. Publishing this book in such a state reflects poorly on the Publisher and the Author.I also disagree with the notion that children today are more sensitive than older generations were when they were children. Dr. Gray didn't say much to back up this premise, but I do not believe that this is at all relevant to his message.

Summary: not a parent? doesn't matter!
Review: this book is absolutely brilliant! it tells us how we should communicate with children with the correct approaches. from the book you'll also know that children can be grouped into four types - sensitive, active, responsible, and receptive. these terms may seem new to you but after reading it you will know that children are from heaven, they are born to be cooperative. well you see, i'm only 18, yet i think this book really teaches me a lot. not only does it provide positive parenting skills, but also everything that you need to know about children. you don't have to be a parent to read Children Are From Heaven. if you like kids, then this book is for you.

Summary: Excellent resource for the most difficult job in the world
Review: This book is truly an excellent resource for all parents who want to raise emotionally healthy, spiritually healthy, and physically healthy children (as well as feel heathly themselves). Although I do not think that there is one single book that everyone will agree with 100% (other than the Bible) this is an incredibly enlightening and energizing book. The book could definitely be a bit shorter (it is slightly redundant) however it is very worthwhile reading! I definitely recommend this book to my own friends and family members, and to you.

Summary: PHENOMENAL
Review: This book is wonderful and introduces some really alternative methods not only to discipline, but also on nurturing children. I was really amazed by Dr. Gray's insight and the things that he said about communication between children and parents. The methods he introduces here are very different from those that I use in my home, but I am seeing a real difference in my children by using them...and I'm only on chapter three. I highly recommend this book if you are looking to do things differently. If you don't want to do the work, it won't help you. It will require a significant...but fruitful...commitment in order to achieve success.

Summary: I'd wish I had this book when my children were infants.
Review: This book provides some excellent advice to parents in child rearing. I only wish I had this book and knew about postive parenting when my children were first born. I am trying to incorporate the suggestions into dealing with my 13 year old twins boys and my 18 year old daughter. Positive parenting methods are also worthwhile for dealing with adult relationships too.I recommend it to all parents and suggest it as a perfect baby gift.

Summary: don't waste your time
Review: This book was very difficult to read and made me wish the entire time that the author would just get to his point. He also made a lot of statements with nothing to back it up. Maybe he thought we were one of his children that shouldn't have things explained to them and should just happily want to do whatever he suggested. I am a young mother, but I guess my view in his light are old fashioned. I think this type of psycho babble leads to the irresponsible adults that I now unfortunately manage- that think that everything should have some kind of reward. Please if you love your children and want what is best, don't follow this book.

Summary: This book is a great book for parents.
Review: This book will give parents the opportunity to give greater loving care to their children the fact they realize children souls really come from heaven. They deserve respect, love, loving discipline; and helping them to become great spiritual and earthly being by developing their inner talents and soul mission. Congratulations and thanks to John Gray for so special teachings to parents through his book.
