Endangered : Your Child in a Hostile World

Rating:
Summary: Thanks for Endangered!
Review: As a professional who works with children, I must say that this excellent book boldly confronts many of the problems children face today. Some of the issues are age-old, such as the child who does not fit in, while other issues like Ritalin and school violence have grown in recent years. In a hopeful, yet realistic way the author gives sound advice for all of us who interact with children. I will treasure and use this resource in my work, as well as in my family as my own child grows. Parents and anyone who works with children, I highly recommend this book!

Summary: Insightful !!!
Review: I can't explain what this book has meant to me. It has helped in so many areas of my life. I understand people in general in a more insightful way than before. It has also shaped the way I view life as a parent, showing my a way to make a positive impact not only in my daughters life but in society. This book is useful for any parent, caregiver or anyone in general who is trying to understand people. Thank you Johann Christoph Arnold! Your book will be a must read many times throughout my life. It's valuable.

Summary: not "ten easy steps to happy parenting"
Review: In the wake of the Columbine shootings blame was flung widely toward numerous causes - and rightly so. But who was willing to dig deeper to the underlying issues and who was saying "Parents: look to how you spend your day. Do your children really come first in your lives?" Arnold does not condemn struggling parents. Rather, he uplifts, encourages, empowers those parents willing to face their own mal-adjusted priorities and ready to make the necessary changes. I find myself applying the firm wisdom of this small book almost daily, seeing my own children and others with new eyes.

Summary: This book is essential reading for every parent
Review: This book is a terrific help for parents. Today's world presents such enormous obstacles for raising children, or even having a family, or even having a stable marriage! But the challenge of raising children in our society today is a very steep one - more than lots of us parents are aware of unless we stop to think about the sort of things that are recounted in this very well-written book. This book has punch, direction, cohesion, taste, and extremely useful, practical advice on such a vitally important subject - the raising and care of YOUR own - OUR own - children! Nothing else can give us the depth of satisfaction and joy that happy children (and grandchildren) can bring to us. DON'T miss this book! YOU need it. We ALL need it! And our kids need us to read it!
