I felt like I already agreed in principle with what he was talking about but he didn't really offer any solutions. It seemed like he assumed that all parents who parented with control didn't want to change their ways and as a result he always sounded so harsh to me.<BR/><BR/>Playful Parenting was full of energy and ideas. I also loved How to Talk So Kids Will Listen... Sarah Napthali's books were also nice to read -- she has lots of quotes from buddhist mothers.<BR/><BR/>I have a whole list of books on my web site: <A HREF="http://mama-om.blogspot.com/2007/01/peaceful-parenting.html" REL="nofollow">peaceful parenting</A>.<BR/><BR/>There are a lot out there, so pick the books that work for you and leave the rest on the shelf! Or just skim to the end of this book and call it "read." ;)<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>StacyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-663497031267449146.post-54236520477941465632008-10-31T06:01:00.000-07:002008-10-31T06:01:00.000-07:00yes yes yes. Every chapter I kept yelling " Yes I ...yes yes yes. Every chapter I kept yelling " Yes I get it. I totally have screwed up but what do I DO about it". He doesn't really tell you until very close to the end and doesn't say enough. Very unsatisfying. I mean I get it. It's good stuff, just after all the build up of guilt I needed lots of tools to save it all. Read Playful Parenting. Much better at giving you tools.DrRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282659190268045274noreply@blogger.com
