^ Almost every parenting book I read refers back to this book. It really is something. The comics really stuck in my mind. Also the end of every chapter has a summary page that you can make copies of and stick on your fridge or where ever you'd like to remind you of all the points made. Or you could just use this video. lol!

I read this when my oldest (now 25) was a toddler. One of the best books I've read, and its concepts are equally applicable to adults.

I still lean on these principles with my 24 and 22 year old daughters! Brilliant and timeless ideas about how to have respectful relationships.

Isn't it just heart-breaking when you realise what you *didn't* experience as a kid.

This video was very succinct. I would still recommend this book to parents to read in full. It has so many helpful passages from common scenarios to parents objections and even their testimonies.

Not only does this book help with kids, but adults as well.

An excellent, concise video offering simple and practical insights for parents to easily grasp when dealing with their child's negative feelings. The content is a game changer in the realm of parenting and can absolutely transform a family's life and relationships, breaking unpleasant patterns so that more positive feelings can be acknowledged and expressed. Brilliant !*!

Very well done summary of an excellent book! I would love to share these with our elementary teachers here in Central America. If I could get you translated audio & wording, could you make this resource in Spanish?
