Very useful for all parents with small children

This book describes a method to improve the communication between parents and children. It can be illuminating, and it is certainly worth trying by parents who are having behavioural issues with their children.

Great book.

This book is full of excellent examples, which are easy to put into practice. However, I wish it were longer.

Useful book, a bit short

Great advice, good demonstration, and I had more questions about a couple of things. I guessthis is what the workshops are for? 🙂
