Have a New Kid by Friday: How to Change Your Child's Attitude, Behavior & Character in 5 Days (Abridged) Audiobook

" Love his style of writing and he doesn't sugar coat anything. Some call it commonsense parenting. "

" I learned alot from this book. Written in a very easy to read format with the best info for day to day use in the back of book. It has changed the way both of us parent. "

" I enjoyed this book. It includes a large section with answers from Dr. Leman on common every day situations most parents encounter with his perspective on how to handle each. I liked the fact that the advice is written by a christian psychologist. "

" I didn't dig deep into this book and didn't agree with some of it. However, there were several nuggets that I did get from it. "

" Nothing new in this book, but presented nicely and without the heavy hand of some other parenting books out there. Love this guy! "

" I think this is a great book. It has concrete answers on how to deal with specific situations. It covers everything from sleep habits, to curfew, allowance, sibling fighting, bad behavior while you are on the phone, in the car, whining, etc. I would recommend this book to any parent! "

" I'm going to try it...seems very "point blank", but since I am mothering Joshua, there really needs to be a book written specifically about him. If I survive his childhood, perhaps I'll write it! "

" I love Dr. Leman (saw him speak before too) but this book wasn't all that I expected. Maybe I should have spaced out my reading: Mon-Fri instead of reading it all at once. I think I will read again. His parenting techniques make so much sense, though! "

" This is a relatively short book that is easy to get through with no nonsense advice regarding discipline. His suggestions can easily be applied to most difficulties that arise in raising any age child. It fits with the 'love and logic' strategy and makes a lot of sense. "

" Really good. Hard to change bad habits but definetly good parenting advice. "

" you can only have a new kid, if you have a new you!! No matter what parenting book you read that pill is always there to swallow. You can't change people only your reaction to them!! "

" What I liked most about this book is the way he addressed specific situations at the back of the book and illustrated how his core prinicples played out in those scenarios. Worth the read. "

" It had good advice.... a lot of which I've heard before. The hardest part is implementing it. "

" I read this book in two days. It is well written, and Dr. Leman adds humor to it, which helps. I'm intrigued by the idea and am looking forward to trying it out with my kids, especially my four year old. I'll have to come back and update this after I put it into place. "

" I thought he had a couple good points, but also thought he was dead wrong in other ideas he had. "

" I DID NOT have a new kid by Friday, but I really enjoyed the practicality of the author's view of parents and the wrong things we do. It definitely helped me deal with my own. "

" Good advice! Easier said than done. "

" I am not one for parenting books. But I was intrigued by this one. I didn't feel insulted or overwhelmed by some crazy plan to be a better parent. It was common sense. And, it's working. "

" For advice on parenting issues this author "hits the nail on the head" as far as I am concerned. I will watch for his other books on family life & parenthood. "

" Had some good steps to follow to handle any type of child. My seem old school to some but they are mostly habits that should be instilled and the consistency we as parents should have. I keep this book around and pick it up periodically. "

" If you are going through a situation where you need help like this, it's a great book and worth trying his method. I have tried it to an extent and it seemed to help a bit. I really like the author and what he's all about, he's also a very good speaker. "

" Loved this book. Especially when the author actually gives you the actions and words to use in certain situations, not just tell you you need to change and give no direction. Must read for all parents. "

" There were some ideas I really liked in this book. But when he said there's no reason a child shouldn't be potty trained by age three, I no longer liked the book. "

" One I would challenge everyone to read. Its easy reading, the doings is what is hard! Following through, and sticking to your guns. I wish I had read this before I had my children. "
