Summary: A Must Read for All Parents
Review: I believe all parents or would be parents should have a copy of this book. It would be a great baby shower gift. Helps you understand yourself and children, and actually makes you like yourself and children. I can't say enough on this book. It brings the best out in you, and also makes you feel like you are not the only parent on earth who goes through tough times in your home raising kids. The book was written over thirty years ago but still works in this day. I use the skills almost all the time with my daughter who is fifteen and I have had the most conversation I have ever had with her since applying the skills the book suggested. Truly the most effective book on parenting I have ever read.

Summary: PET a powerful tool for living at peace with your children.
Review: I have used this book personally and shared it with at least 50 other people. Mr. Gordon's book is timeless. It does not suggest a particular style of discipline but explains that parents and children can learn to communicate and respect each other. This is done by learning and practicing some very practical skills.

Summary: A must read!
Review: I read this book in a communications class in junior college. I do not have kids, but it is the foundation of the way I relate to people and to my students. So many people do not know how to talk with others without blaming. This book shows you how to own your power and let others have theirs, too.

Summary: Just what I've Desperately Needed!!
Review: If you don't feel closeness with your child, can't get them to open up even with the kindest efforts, feel like you can't imagine why your relationship isn't good because of all the love you give, and your child would rather spend time with the computer than with you, and they won't listen to you....YOU NEED THIS! I was able to understand instantly the unintentional messages I have been sending! I've read MANY parenting books, never have the results been so immediate--almost magic, and so simple to understand and use. In four days, while still reading, I used/practiced the techniques described--and my 15 year old has responded with profound openess and helpfulness. Because I am respecting his needs as a person (and have learned how to comunicate this), he is in turn respecting my needs! Brilliant! Buy it at ANY cost!!

Summary: Amazingly effective.
Review: This "how-to" text will teach you how to transform the relationship with your children. Into the trash bin go punishment, rewards, parental authority and childhood/adolescent rebellion. Instead, you elicit cooperation from your children by telling them how their behavior affects you. You help your children to solve their own problems by becoming a good listener. It may sound Utopian or even air-headed, but it's been around for a long time and has worked for thousands of parents. It's working for me, ending years of banging my head against the wall. Avoid the risk of getting fired as parent by your kids. Read this book and try its techniques
