Book Reviews of Loving Your Child Is Not Enough: Positive Discipline That Works
Book Review: A Must-Read for All Parents!
Summary: 5 Stars
The best parenting book I've ever read. Filled with detailed examples of how real family members talk and act with one another, and how the particular words we use either improve or sabotage our efforts to discipline. Unlike other books which generalize about child development/behavior, this one suggests specific words and actions to use in a variety of situations. The result is to minimize our children's negative responses, and encourage them to exercise good judgement and take responsibility for their actions. Parents, teachers and caregivers will be filled with a renewed sense of purpose and enthusiasm after reading this book. Buy a copy for yourself and give it as a gift to others -- especially new or expectant parents. You can't get started on the road to happy parenting and family life too early!Book Review: Worthwhile Reading For Parents and Parents To Be
Summary: 5 Stars
Nancy Samalin's style of writing is easy to read and understand. It is not clinical, and it is written with humor and just good sense. I learned so much from this book and used it actively with my son. My husband listened to the audio tape so we were both on the same "page" so to speak. The helpful strategies and hints worked very well with our son and I recommend this book highly. I also give it as a gift to all new Mom's.Book Review: I frequently recommend this book to parents.

Summary: 5 Stars
As a practicing Marriage and Family Psychotherapist and former elementary school principal, I must have read hundreds of books on how to discipline children effectively. However, the problem with many of them is that the emphasis is generally on how to get children to behave cooperatively, rather than on how to raise emotionally healthy, happy, responsible children who know how think for themselves. Nancy's book is the best match I've seen for the methods that therapists believe are most effective in developing high self-esteem in kids. The author helps parents and teachers understand that, by treating children with dignity and respect and listening to their feelings,our kids will WANT to do the 'RIGHT THING'. Loving Your Child Is Not Enough is written in clear, easy-to-read chapters filled with examples we all can relate to.
I often recommend that busy moms and dads buy the cassette version and listen and talk about it, and I frequently use Nancy's explanations in describing good parenting to my clients - AND to their children! I also suggest that readers will want to read other books written by Sammalin.
