Review:This message is for all of us with children. Even if you don't have a child, but have a part in a niece or nephew's life, this book speaks to us all. Its message is too important to keep our head in the sand and not talk about. Our futures are dependent on us doing hard things and raising grateful kids who want to be difference makers. I highly recommend this book. I read it the first time, then re-read slowly, and now am reading parts with my husband. There are good ideas, great discussio... Read more

Review:I have found this book very insightful with the thoughts and action of my 11 year old daughter. The world is a changed place and very different from when I grew up. Mary has a lot of advice and insight that any parent can find useful. Read more

Review:My husband and I were both raised on the wonderful suggestions of this book. Now our son and daughter get to benefit from it, too. Not just suggestions of good books to read, but fun ideas about how to read with children and how to interact with them about books. I can't wait to see the 4th edition! Read more

Review:This book really makes a difference in working through the emotions and confusion but more importantly provides a roadmap to building a new relationship with yourself and life. Susan Elliott's books, her videos and this book's facebook group will honestly get you to the other side of grief, guilt and confusion. Read more

Review:This second edition exceeded my expectation! Just another contribution as to why Dr. Steven R. Covey deserves to considered one of the best educators and leadership authors. Just brilliant to fuse the highly acclaimed "7 Habits" concept to K-12 education that result in outstanding learning outcomes! Should be required reading for parents, Broads, administrator and committed faculty!

Review:I loved 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE -- http://www.amazon.com/Habits-Highly-Effective-People-Powerful/dp/1451639619 -- I bought this one, expecting more of the same. But this book is problematic, I had to stop reading. Why? Too many places where he comes across as judgemental of anyone who is not the same religion as he is. It's subtle, but after a while, it's intolerable.I don't need his ongoing underhanded reminders that you gotta do it the way his god sayeth. Perhaps the problem is he ... Read more

Review:this book made a tremendous difference in our first year with our first baby. we were fans of the happiest baby dvd, and i wondered if this would really add anything new. if you've already seen the dvd (also highly recommended, more so than the book version of 'happiest baby on the block'), then this is an excellent additional resource. it focuses specifically on sleep, and helps with both immediate strategies and, just as importantly, long term good habits that set you up for a great sleeper...

Review:This was an absolutely amazing book! I searched for reviews and read all the reviews I could before I bought it wondering if it could help me..... It did in so many ways, I'll probably end up reading it a few more times to make sure i don't miss out on anything! Read more

But if you’ve... Read more

Review:Unfortuneately most of us have at least one toxic parent. This book could be standard reading for everyone. It shows the different types of toxic parents and counters their toxicity with the truth. You don't have to live your life striving for their approval. Toxic parent relationships are not healthy and should not be treated the same as healthy parent-child relationships. This book is very informative and very practical. Read more
