Summary: Where was this book 17 years ago?
Review: I wish I'd had these great ideas for raising kids when mine were born! Having plans and goals in print make it seem so easy. It's easy to read, and easy to see my family in the stories mentioned throughout the book. My kids are teenagers now, but I can still use many of the skills demonstrated in this book to send them out into the world when they become adults!

Summary: A tremendous resource for parents!.
Review: I'm extremely impressed with both the comprehensiveness of this book - and, it's ease of application.I've been an educator for close to 30 years - and, rarely do I see a recource - like Building Rock Solid Kids - that I'd be willing to recommend - and, frankly promote to every parent that I encounter. It's great - if you are a parent or educator - read is right now!

Summary: What a great parenting resource!.
Review: I've been an educator for close to 30 years - and, when I read Keith Hafner's book I was just amazed that he was able to provide - really excellent - lessons and application that is founded not on in practical experience - but, in the latest research. This book is really easy to read and apply - and, deceptively substantive. I recommend it to all of my friends - and, parents of the 1,500 kids that I teach regularly!.

Summary: Absolutely, Positively a "Must-Read" for Anyone With Kids...
Review: If you're looking to have kids, drop what you're doing and get this practical, hands-on workbook that will teach you more common-sense child rearing attitudes and actions than any book I've seen. It's all laid out simple, easy-to-read format and all the information is highly applicable to anyone looking to raise happy, healthy kids. Mr. Hafner's "12 Foundation Stones" have become a family constitution for me and my kids. This is a great, great book! I highly recommend it for anyone planning to have kids, or who is currently rasing little ones, like I am.

Summary: Rock Solid Advice!
Review: Straight forward and down to earth, this book is built on rock solid principles! If followed, they will work. I love the format. It's concise, elegantly written and easy to follow. The 12 foundations are peppered with anecdotal evidence and each section has valuable exercises to follow with your children. Are the concepts taught here old-fashioned? You betcha. Are they out of date? Only if you think that self-control, responsibility, honesty, courage, etc. are out of date. I don't think think so. Good read! Great advice! Thanks so much to Keith Hafner.

Summary: Rock Solid Advice
Review: This book is not just about building rock solid kids, but about building rock solid relationships with them. So many books talk at you, offering advice that is difficult to remember and impossible to follow. Keith Hafner's interactive format is stunningly different, and I think that by the end of the book most parents will feel that they have grown right along with their children. Also, I think most parents will feel comforted and inspired by the common-sense nature of the book and the advice it offers. Wise, unpretentious, and engaging.
