Summary: Gary Ezzo controversy!
Review: Gary Ezzo's teachings are very controversal even among Christian churches where his courses are used. My spouse and I took his "Growing Kids God's Way" class which is the basis for much of the material in this book. Do your research (try a search on the internet) on Gary Ezzo before accepting him as a "parenting authority"!A valuable alternative to the Ezzo's teachings is "How to Really Love Your Child" by Dr. Ross Campbell, available here at amazon.com. Learn how much WE as parents need to change and grow in our own maturity, as well as our need to guide and discipline our children!

Summary: How to train your child to become a responsible teen
Review: Mr. Ezzo has created a tool to help parents in one of the must critical time of their child's life. Any parent who is struggling with the "how to's" of parenting will be helped by this book (if you apply it correctly). The book gives parents tools in developing relationship with your child(ren)and training a child's heart (internal moral values), not just the external acts. If you want to get to the heart of your child(ren), this book will help.

Summary: Training your child's heart
Review: Our family has gone through all of the parenting materials that the Ezzos have put their heart into. We have truly been blessed,as many other families have. The Smart Parent is another wonderful avenue that has helped us cultivate a a deeper relationship with our preteen. We highly reccomend this book (and all of the Ezzo's material) if you yearn to get to the heart of your child.

Summary: A Horrible, Absolutely Anti-Christian Approach
Review: This is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It passes itself as "God's way", but it is the way of devil. It has nothing to do with the way of Jesus, the God of Love, the loving shepherd of his flock, and everything to do with a vengeful, retributive, unjust deity. That it may work to affect behavior says nothing about its effect about the soul of children, and upon the family. Our children, our Christian children, deserve much, much better.

Summary: Another treasure from Mr. Ezzo
Review: We have been blessed and edified over and over by the books of Gary Ezzo, and amused and bewildered by the "controversy" often cited. (Notice how often it comes from advocates of "attachment parenting" and how much comes from the keyboards of the same three critics...) Wall Street Journal put it best: -None of this would seem controversial to your parents or grandparents.- Good old fashioned uncommon sense. Use it, apply it, and enjoy your children. This book is a perfect addition to the Growing Kids work, and I heartily recommend it.
