Raising Children You Can Live With: A Guide for Frustrated Parents

Rating:
Summary: Should be in every parent's "arsenal"
Review: Although I usually read parenting books by Brazleton and other highly-publicized authors, a friend recommended that I try this one. I could just kiss her for that. This book isn't a summary of all the parenting advice you've ever heard (what a relief). Mr. Raser tackles issues with teens like a pro, and he would be the only person I know of that could raise a house full of teenagers and still go to bed every night with a smile on his face.

Summary: Worthy of being on every parents bookcase!
Review: Raising Children You Can Live With is a book many parents can benefit from. Mr.Raser gives many practical suggestions for dealing with kids. I thought his "Strategic Interaction" plan would be helpful for many, and he gives good guidelines for how to deal with lying, cheating, a child who doesn't obey rules, and how to deal with a child who may show signs of depression. Mr. Raser has a great sense of humor, and his use of Calvin and Hobbes comics hooked me, as I'm a long-time fan of that comic strip! I think parents who read this book will find many useful, practical suggestions that will aid them in raising a child they can live with, and as he says, have fun doing it!
