"Despite my obvious problems with his theology and politics (e.g. feminism), he has some incredibly useful and workable solutions to parenting issues. He makes a lot of sense, and his ideas work!"
"I highly recommend this book - especially to read it before your kids become "tweenagers". What is taught goes along with the Plan of Salvation. We cannot force our children to obey - "not even God can make his children obey". We need to let them make their choices and then help them learn from their mistakes by poviding the needed discipline when that time comes. I learned that I tend to micromanage my children and need to learn to let up so I don't make matters worse. I like that he doesn't go along with most other psycologists in assigning something to blame for why the kids behave as they do. There are only a few things in the book that I disagreed with."
"While I agree that Rosemond can seem a bit condescending, I think it's mostly it's part of his plan to get people to lighten up about themselves a little. I found this book amazing and am anxious for my husband to read it so that we can be on the same page. We happen to be blessed so far with a teenager with a sunny personality and good behavior. We're not stupid and think she's going to remain perfect, but this book gives practical advice. I was able to utilize some of his tactics tonight. She has a big test to study for in order to be placed higher in high school next year. This outcome is her desire so that she doesn't have to take two math classes in one semester in her sophomore year. She has an opportunity to study and practice for the test. My husband and I have been reminding and cajoling and arguing for her to study. Tonight - like a lightbulb - it occurred to me that we were more stressed about her passing than SHE was. Not good. So, we announced to her tonight that we would no longer remind, argue, complain or cajole. This is HER decision, HER goal and if she chooses not to pass that test, SHE will have to live with the consequences (two math classes in one semester) However, if SHE decides to commit to the goal of passing the test, we will be more than happy to help her with her studying. Now, she can't get mad at US for nagging her. She'll have to nag herself. It's great to see her struggling with how she's going to set her priorities. I hope she chooses to study and pass the test, but if she doesn't my husband and I will not be stressed. She will - which is how it should be. I would recommend this book to EVERY parent with a teenager!"
