Summary: Good and Angry: Exchanging Frustration for Character in You
Review: My children are 13, 11, and 9. I have read many excellent parenting books,
but feel that Dr. Turansky and Joanne Miller, R.N., B.S.N. have captured a new yet simple,
wise and practical method for training children. All of this in an easy to read book, Good and Angry: Exchanging Frustration for Character in You and Your Children. Good and Angry first helps the parent examine their own attitudes,
and then gives them a few simple tools to effectively raise kind,
considerate, sensitive, and loving children.I especially enjoyed chapter 7, "They're So Annoying". It was refreshing to
know that other parents struggle with children who "seem oblivious to the
feelings of others, continue to pester, speak without thinking, and are
overly silly by pushing, grabbing, teasing, and joking". This chapter
explains that I can teach my "annoying child" self-control and sensitivity
by raising the awareness level of the annoying behavior, by keeping
character in mind, by praising the child in the process of correction, and
by developing tolerance when necessary. I have begun to use this simple
method, and feel less anxious and sense a strengthening relationship between
myself and my child. This is not a book you read once and put away to collect dust. It is one
that you need to read over and over again. Good and Angry is a great book
if you want to replace bad patterns of discipline(reacting in anger) with
gentle, wise methods.
Dr. Turansky and Joanne Miller, R.N., B.S.N. have written this book from a
Christian perspective, but it's content is not religiously offensive. The
methods can be used by people of any faith.

I enjoy periodic newsletters that provide support to my parenting. Good and Angry will no doubt provide you many great ideas in parenting your child.

Summary: very helpful
Review: This book was wonderful. I really enjoy the way the authors touch on so many relevant concerns. The book really offers helpful phrases and methods for helping the family. Their approach is very practical and makes sense. It makes a great gift. I actually bought it for a few friends to give as gifts. The authors emphasize how our family should treat others-even siblings and spouses. This is something lacking in many of the parenting books I have read. Personal relationship skills are so important!!!!!

Summary: One of the best parenting books I've read!
Review: This has been one of the best parenting books I've read. It has been as valuable to me as my books by Dr. James Dobson. It has practical advice that I was able to implement with my children and see immediate results. The positive conclusion is wonderful. It has really changed our interaction and after a conflict my children's attitudes are cheery again. It not only helped me identify and help change my childrens behavior, but it showed me how to change mine in relating to them. Children are such a joy, and now I'm finding parenting to be even more of one too.
