Summary: Rock Solid Families
Review: "It takes a village to raise a child..." True? But so often today, there is little or no family support. It takes someone like Keith Hafner, who truly cares about children and families, to really help parents. Mr. Hafner has given busy parents several, easy to do exercises to bring families closer together and if needed change a child and family for the better. The biggest benefit of doing these projects is attention children will receive from the parents. I immediately found things that I wanted to change about my parenting, and I think of myself as a good parent.

Summary: ( ) is waiting in the wings!
Review: "This book should be on every parent's or future parent's bookshelf...it would help them with excellent character growth and development methods and tools."Furthermore, if our teachers were to read it and then teach and affirm the character traits daily, our schools would be a much more fun and disciplined environment to learn and socially interact. I know...I've been emphasizing and encouraging this type of learning for over 30 years now in our martial arts school in Delaware...and you know what? It flat out works! Get the book and read it...no study it so that it becomes your reality in your family setting...you'll be glad you did...And so will the rest of the community!

Summary: Confused and ill-thought out
Review: As seen by the "newborn hild" statement on the cover, this book is in desperate need of an editor. (Hafner also says the four food groups are "proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and sugars", which is amazingly incorrect.) However, it's doubtful that an editor could have saved this book, which is a inconsitent mess of old and incorrect parenting advice and martial arts techniques that just don't work outside of the dojo. If you want to raise horribly maladjusted children, by all means, buy this book.

Summary: A Nice Blend of the Philosophical and the Practical
Review: For parents who have the courage to live the kind of life they are asking of their children, this book will be a great help. Be aware, it focuses on such unpopular topics as physical fitness, self-control, confidence, honesty, responsibility, courage, and many other "old-school" concepts. Each chapter contains a concept i.e. honesty, and asks parents to evaluate how they are already teaching their children about that concept (sometimes positively, sometimes negatively). Each chapter then provides several weeks of exercises to complete on our own and with our children. I think it does a very nice job of taking potentially complicated concepts and bringing the key elements into focus. Elements like: What have our actions taught our children about honesty? Do we demonstrate the self-control we are demanding of our children. Like most parents, I feel our 2 children are already on the way to being well-adjusted kids, and this book will help us to cement that. To parents willing to let the light of their own actions guide their children -- If you're willing to teach your child honesty by returning the incorrect change to the cashier -- If you're willing to teach your child about self-control by turning off the television and sitting down and reading books when they do -- If you're willing to teach them about physical fitness by staying healthy and fit -- Buy This Book
