Confident Parenting in Challenging Times: Essential Convictions of Highly Successful Parents

Rating:
Summary: It's a really positive and practical approach to parenting.
Review: There are lots of real practical and helpful viewpoints and tips in this book. He wants to encourage parents who feel intimidated by "experts" and the challenging times we live in. The part about the positive approach to discipline and the discussion of spanking and the alternatives is right on! And the material about teenagers will be helpful soon. I recommend this book to anyone with children still at home.

Summary: A Solid Parenting Primer!
Review: This book is packed with timely and timeless wisdom for today's parents. One BIG plus is that Patterson doesn't follow the mistakes of many others by trying to offer a "canned" step-by-step formula for parenting--as if all children were created from the same mold. Yet, he still manages to share excellent, applyable insights! After reading it, I am better equipped to grow with my two young children!
