Raising Positive Kids In A Negative World

Summary: good book gone bad!
Review: I bought Zig Ziglar's book Raising Positive Kids in a Negative World, and had many problems with it. I am an Northeaster Illinois University student majoring in early childhood education, and I know a LOT about children. I thought this book would give me more insight on how I could help other parents raise positive children. Throughout his book Zig Ziglar constantly pats his self on the back/toots his own horn for all his accomplishments and "parents he has reached". He might know a thing or two about writing books on how to sell things, but he should leave raising positive children to the professionals. Yes, at the beginning of the book I was hooked and thought this man knew it all. I only got half way through the book when I realized that he knows nothing. I did not enjoy some of his ideas, for example if you and your children are not religious then they will be terrible people. I know plenty of wonderful children who do not believe in god. It made me sick to hear how he feels about working mothers, and women in general. Zig(what kind of name is that) is extremely sexist! Don't waste your time on this book. YUCK! If anyone wants this book(as a coaster of course) I will very happily send it to you!

Summary: An honest truthful guide for all parents
Review: Zig really penned some of his best... This book is full of wisdom from his experience and his faith.

What I found most profound was at the end of the book where he writes the answers to a question he posed to his own children: what did we do right and what did we do wrong as parents.

Absolutely honest and extremely informative.

Summary: Every parent should read this
Review: Zig Ziglar is a truly remarkable person. In this book he takes a detour from his usual business topics and talks about raising children. He presents his "old school" ideas which might seem a bit too conservative to some "modern" parents. Especially if talking about faith in God or pre-marriage sex. But it is his firm belief in traditional values that makes this book convincing. Ziglar also does not pretend that he, as a father, was doing everything right. He lets his children speak at the end of the book and they have some critical remarks indeed. I really recommend this book to everyone who wants to become a better parent and I also recommend to combine it with another book by Zig Ziglar, his bestseller See You At The Top.

Review: Ziglar relates time-tested, practical, common sense parenting advice in a way only he can. Every parent should read this book and then share it with every other parent they know. It's even more fun to listen to in audio format! I've listened to hundreds of hours of Ziglar teachings, and I still learn from him every time.
