    <body><![CDATA[They need to make a 101 and 201 version of this book, keeping the current book for REALLY bad parents, and editing it down by 50% for parents who already have some kind of clue how not to talk to their kids.  I got a fair amount out of it just from skimming it in one afternoon, but it felt more like...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2867131">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is AWESOME! It is one of my favorite parenting books.  I wish I had it memorized and could do everything in it already. It has so many great ideas to help me be a better mom. I would highly recommend it to anyone! I have a copy that I would be willing to lend, but I want it back. :) ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Must read for parents of children at any age! Absolutely. <br/>I'm learning how I sound to others, especially to my preschooler and sometimes I don't sound very loving, kind or as if I even like him. This fits well with the <em>Raising Cain<em> book, which is essentially about how to raise boys to be emoti...</em></em><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42789855">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I wish that all people who deal with kids would read this book.  It's great for skimming because it can be over-explanatory.  They also have one that pertains to teens and also one more specifically for teachers: <em>How to Talk so Kids Will Learn.</em>]]></body>
