A Great Way to Help Raise Children! by L. Landry (Long Island, NY) 5 Stars
April 03, 2009
I just took a STEP Parenting class & this was the book we used. I learned A LOT from it & have been able to use the techniques in my daily life with my 3 boys. While they are very simple, I will continue to review the book to remind myself what I need to do to be a better parent.
The thing I liked best about the book is it helps you find ways to deal with issues WITHOUT YELLING!!!
Over the past several days I have thought of the things I learned, and readjusted my usual response - yelling - and have had more calm interactions with my boys. This is a wonderful book for anyone who is seeking to communicate more efficiently, and raise respectful, loving children. Who wouldn't want that?!

One of the best parenting books. They also make a teen version. I have taken and helped teach classes based on this book. A perfect and unique baby gift for first time parents.

Thank God for this Book! by S. L. Hill-Tanquist (U.S.A.) 5 Stars
September 29, 2008
We got this book back in the 80's as part of a parenting class we took when our daughter was seven and our son was three. Our son had severe allergies and had recently been restricted to a diet that allowed him very few foods. Thanks to this book and our wonderful teacher, we learned to express confidence rather than pity--as in "I know you can handle this." rather than, "I'm so sorry you can't have the same thing the rest of us are eating, poor dear!"
When our son insisted on going off his diet, we didn't say a word. Later he got a cold and said, "I'm sick because I ate that graham cracker." The whole concept of natural consequence had become a part of his thinking.
The book creates a model of democracy in the home (using it is very patriotic--prepares children to be responsible members of the U.S.!).
We explained the concept of natural consequences and had family council meetings where we let the kids choose their responsibilities and decide what their consequences would be. If we came up with something that was too wimpy, the kids would say, "no, we don't care enough about that," and suggest a consequence they did care about.
When my daughter was in college and building trails with high school kids, I loaned her the book and she said it was invaluable to her.
So often we parent poorly because we don't know what else to do and this book is a great help in discovering what else to do. If you can find a group in your community that's using it, that's even better. We learned a lot from the school counselor who worked with us and from practicing before we faced the kids!
