Book Reviews of Loving Your Child Is Not Enough: Positive Discipline That Works
Book Review: Must HAVE for ALL Parents!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book really helped me alot. It helped to better manage my children without the yelling! It is easy to read and understand. It included scenarios which helped me better relate to the the material.Book Review: Ridiculous
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is for parents who want permission to let the children be in charge. If you are a firm believer that the parent calls the shots, this book is not for you. I found it to be almost identical to 'How to talk so kids can learn' by Adele Faber, which I also thought was a waste of time. One of the suggestions in Loving your child...is to leave notes for the child, instead of confronting disciplinary issues head on. Part of our job, as parents, is to prepare children for the real world. If the child learns to write notes instead of dealing with issues face to face, she will be perceived as devious and spineless once she gets into the real world. Grow up! Parents are in charge, or at least they should be.Book Review: Thank you Nancy for the best book on parenting ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
A copy of Nancy Samalin's Loving Your Child is Not Enough should be handed to every new parent. In a perfect world, it would be required reading for all parents. Nancy shows us the way to stress free parenting where everyone's self esteem remains intact and results abound. I have learned to rethink my responses in situations that would previously have been governed by anger or frustation. Now I can react with humor and common sense. No more lectures or belittling. I use Nancy's methods in my classroom where I am surrounded by happy children who love school. I offer Nancy's books to parents who come to me with questions about parenting. I strongly recommend this book to everyone who is a parent searching for advice on how to raise children with love, compassion and wisdom. Thank you Nancy for the best book on parenting ever!Book Review: The Best Parenting Book I've Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
In all my years of being an educator--29--this is by far the best book on parenting I have read! It reminds me of the "old school" math books--chock full of practical, down-to-earth examples, not theory--of how to enact positive discipline in your children. Ms. Samalin's wealth of experience is brought to bear in this book, and she runs the gamut in age ranges--from the toddler through and including high schoolers. This book is an absolute must for any parent--from the first time parent to one having a fourth child. If you think you know all there is to know about parenting, read this book and get ready to "think again." I guarantee this book will open you to effective ways to improve your relationships with your children, aside from enacting positive discipline, that you have not thought of before. To paraphrase a famous ad slogan, "Just Do It"--Read This Book!Book Review: Very Unrealistic
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book because other customer reviews raved about how wonderful it was. Well, I was very disappointed. It was so awful, I couldn't even read the book all the way through. The book is almost entirely made up of sample conversations that show you how you should be talking with your children. Unfortunately, the children in these conversations are unlike any child I know. In the book, the three-year-olds talk more like ten-year-olds. It is very unrealistic. I would give it zero stars if I could. I sent the book back.
