Book Reviews of Making Children Mind without Losing Yours
Book Review: BARNONE! The Best Book I've read!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't thank Kevin Leman enough for his wisdom and insight. I feel incredibly fortunate to have come across this book as well as it's author - I plan on purchasing another, "Bringing up kids without Tearing them Down..." Parenting is sooo hard if you try to figure it out alone but Leman makes it super simple and what better standard than the one set forth by God. I am a far better parent having read this book. My perspective of my role has completely changed and is much healthier, happier, and comfortable. And it's so simple! Thank you Kevin Leman for writing this book - the ONLY book necessary for properly raising our children.Book Review: Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours
Summary: 5 Stars
This book helped me more than anything else when my children were adolescents and we were struggling with the ordinary problems that you encounter. My children have grown up to be responsible, successful, mature adults. Thank you for your insights, Kevin Leman!Book Review: Too religious for me
Summary: 4 Stars
Although this book is well written and has excellent advice, I was put off by all the scripture quoting and references to "Our Heavenly Father". Also, I could not get past the fact that he condones spanking. I think this would be a great book for someone who had never read any parenting books and was very religious. After reading many parenting books, I found nothing new in this one, and would much rather reccomend "Kids are worth it" or "How to talk to your Kids...", "Positive Discipline" or Sears' "The discipline book"
Book Review: Great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this book. It had a lot of practical examples to use besides just talking about how to handle certain situations in theory only. Of course most of the things he suggests really are common sense. Unfortunately most people get so wrapped up with trying to keep their kids happy that they forget common sense sometimes or prefer to take the easy way out and let their kids get away with murder. I highly recommend this book for the christian family looking for smart ways to help guide them in parenting their children.Book Review: Best ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read a LOT of parenting books. This is the best one I've read by far. His methods teach a balance of respect and discipline that make so much sense! And it works! I have been trying to move away from so many punitive measures in disciplining my kids, but I could never buy into the completely positive discipline style of discipline. This book (and video series) was a true answer to prayer for me and my husband. It teaches a balance of punishment and discipline with self control and respect. We have been trying to apply this philosophy in our family, and this book gives great practical examples. I have seen a real difference in my kids and have felt it in myself.
