Publisher Description

Unfortunately, children don't come with operating instructions, so raising even the most compliant kids can sometimes be disconcerting. Acknowledging that some youngsters are more challenging than others, Dr. James Dobson offers real help with establishing parent-child relationships, maintaining sanity, and banishing guilt. A Doctor of Philosophy in child development and the founder of the international organization Focus on the Family, Dr. Dobson has become one of America's most respected family therapists. Drawing on a landmark study of 35,000 parents, as well as on his experience as both a professional and a parent, the author offers valuable advice on every aspect of parenting. This insightful best-seller offers parents the opportunity to find fulfillment in every stage of parenting, from bringing children into the world to letting them go. Narrator John McDonough's reassuring voice inspires a healthy dose of parenting confidence.

"This book is based on James Dobson's study of how parents relate to and parent the different personalities of their children. It compares and contrasts "strong willed" children and "compliant" children and teaches how to use different parenting techniques to parent each one. Fantastic!"

    " I haven't finished it, but it is 'put down' indefinatly. It's a little more 'scientific'/case study than I thought. And more geared for those with strong willed children. "

    " Quite a lot of data to make you feel better about being sometimes overwhelmed by the task of parenting. This certainly isn't a book that provides a series of solutions. "

    " Very practical, encouraging advice about parenting. Breaks down compliant vs. strong-willed children and gives great hope about the decisions we all make as parents. "

    " Outdated. This laid the groundwork for his later book The Strong-Willed Child. Title was misleading. "

    " Geared towards the parents of extremely strong-willed children (seems we have a bunch of those in this generation of children!). It has very insightful parenting tips. Dobson is a spiritually oriented individual with much insight into good parenting, I like that. "

    " I love James Dobson and agree with everything he says. This book just didn't have any practical applications to use with your own child. It was interesting to read, but provided little "how to's" on child rearing. "

    " Pretty conservative but lots of good advice. Large chunks were cut and pasted from his other book "The Strong Willed Child", and I think this book actually addressed the issues of the strong willed child better than the book with that title. "

    " ACK!! Got to page 10 of this book then put it down. "Lord" was mentioned about 20 times in those 10 pages AND "Gays" and "Punks" ... AND I just don't like the conservative/religious undertones of this book. "
