I read this book twice. The authors do a wonderful job laying out things I have always felt strongly about in a very logical and interesting way. As a teacher I see the results of all kinds of parenting styles and my most well adjusted and successful students almost universally have parents who follow these principles.
I wish all parents would read this book!

This book was suggested by our middle school parent book. I didn't get through it but liked what i read. I will pick it up again another time - too many good fiction books calling my name.
