My Take on the Book
This book is very progressive and Dr. Walfish is very thorough in her assessments of parenting. With the fact that I am a parent of 2 girls, Dr. Walfish provides wonderful strategies and suggestions to deal with them and to build a better relationship with each of them as they get older.

There have been many times when J-Mom and I have reacted and treated our children in ways that is not productive. This book makes you really examine what you say and do with with your children and helps you identify how you can learn perpetuating.
I am always looking for ways to be a better parent and to build stronger relationships with my girls. This book opens a door to this for me. I am looking forward to trying out the strategies and resources that are included in this book.
