Book Reviews of Making Children Mind without Losing Yours
Book Review: I'm totally impressed!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book really shocked me. I had to read it for an education class and just found it to be so beneficial. His suggestions are called "Reality Discipline." This is a Christian book by a Christian author...some people don't pick that part up all the time. I love the way in which he backs his material up with scripture and uses real-life examples from his own family. He's pretty funny too! What a great buy!Book Review: Practical Wisdom for raising great kids!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Leman's humor and common biblical based sense makes this book a great book for mom and dad, educators and ministers. I have also taught the video series with the same name and it is wonderful, everyone enjoyed it. I just wish it was around when my kids were small. They will be getting a copy for their children. With topics like Becoming the parent God wants you to be, reality discipline and let the little buzzards tumble, Dr. Leman is on the top of my recommended list!Book Review: Good book to rate your parenting skills on
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not a reader, however, this book has the right ingredients to keep even the less than casual reader engaged. I cannot say that I am a great parent, but this book helps you gage how well you are doing as a parent. It's a good feeling to know that someone has the same feelings about the parenting approach that you are and is doing well with their children. However this book suggests that we as parents seek help from other parents to help improve our skills. Also, this book, however religious in tone, is not overly religious. Mr. Leman uses references from the Bible as well as provides quotes, but the whole book doesn't linger on it. I don't feel that their additions would offend a person. Great book to read for a parent to assist them in their life long investment as well as a means to see how you feel you are doing as a parent.Book Review: WOW!!

I LOVED this book!! Our home is much more peaceful & I love that it is biblically based! I also liked his approach to spanking (keep it to a minimum). I'm just about to purchase another one & send it to a friend.Book Review: Best parenting book I have read yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
And i have read a lot! I am a full-time mother of very active three-year-old twin boys. My mother was a yeller and I swore I would not parent that way. However, once the boys hit two I found myself beginning to fall into that pattern. If I didn't yell or vent, I carried around anger at them which spilled over to my husband when he came home from work. I wanted nothing more than to escape from my life and even considered going back to work even though I really wanted to raise my own children. This book didn't just tell me what to do in a certain situation, it gave me a change of perspective. Now I can figure out on my own what to do before I get angry. Both of my boys are responding beautifully and we have a lot more fun together than ever before. There is also a lot more affection between all of us. BUY THIS BOOK!
