Parenting When Your Child is an Adult

Rating:
Summary: Anything Goes
Review: Oh what can I say about this book? It's advice of the wild and crazy variety, I read it with the song "Anything Goes" parading through my thoughts as an accompaniment. These authors would do well to return to their own roots if they want to really understand human behavior. They should read The Talmud and the Torah to understand humanism because humanism just isn't wild and crazy liberalism!

Summary: Excellent!!Excellent book.
Review: Parenting When Your Child Is An Adult gave great comfort and solace at a time of personal searching and provided the realization that most families struggle to some degree with issues involving adult children. This was brought home as the authors shared so candidly and realistically their personal experiences. I recommend very highly this engrossing book to all parents seeking to improve communication with their children.

Summary: Parenting for One Kind of Parents Only
Review: This book left me shocked and shaking. Yes, it's a 'parenting manual,' but only if you are an extremist liberal who believes that any and all behaviors are to be tolerated from your grown children. I have a conscience, so I can not, in all good faith, recommend this book to anyone who wants to ensure their children become the adults that their parents can truly be proud of. I say to these authors: why not step up to the plate and take a stand about what's right and what's wrong, rather than pretending to yourselves, and attempting to convince others, that right and wrong do not exist?

Summary: Feel-Good Book But...
Review: This is the kind of book that tries to be informative and enlightened, but only appeals to a limited group of people: namely, the parents of undeniably abysmal failures. Sure it's nice to be told, as a parent, that if your child is about as responsible an adult as Ted Bundy that "it's okay" and "it's not the parents' fault," but come on! What kind of parents are really going to buy into a line like THAT?
