I LOVED this book!! This is such a basic must for Christian parents to read! It is a genuinely thoughtful book detailing principles for raising respectful, well-adjusted, and cooperative children. Along with the principles, the author includes specific suggestions on how to reach out to your sullen child, or how to use discipline in a positive manner so that you reach the heart of your child. A really awesome book!!
