Summary: great advice
Review: The Reality Discipline described in this book is just common sense distilled into a well-thought out set of guidelines. I like that Leman writes in a manner that is respectful of parents, rather than preaching, and flexible-you won't find any "do exactly as I say to the letter or your child will be a brat," which all too many parenting experts do. Reading this book really helped me think through why I do what I do and how I can alter my actions to better fit with my philosophy. I highly reccomend it!

Summary: Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours
Review: This book helped me more than anything else when my children were adolescents and we were struggling with the ordinary problems that you encounter. My children have grown up to be responsible, successful, mature adults. Thank you for your insights, Kevin Leman!

Summary: Very valuable child rearing information
Review: This book provides a no-nonsense approach to disciplining children while fostering the true meaning of unconditional love. These techniques are really based on common sense (the golden rule for example) and are very effective. Everyone raves at how well adjusted our 2 year old is. We started applying the basic principles in this book when she was about 1 years old. Her teachers at preschool just love to have her in their class because she is "so well behaved", full of joy and caring and empathetic towards others. I have never heard anyone say that about a 2 year old before.

Summary: I'm totally impressed!
Review: This book really shocked me. I had to read it for an education class and just found it to be so beneficial. His suggestions are called "Reality Discipline." This is a Christian book by a Christian author...some people don't pick that part up all the time. I love the way in which he backs his material up with scripture and uses real-life examples from his own family. He's pretty funny too! What a great buy!
