Simple and Hopefully Effective August 28, 2008

I have had two children to a previous marriage and therefore I think I know it all. That's a guy for you. So when I spied this I thought it would be good for my wife and I to read in order to assist us with a 00ties (nauties, 2000's) child. She is 6 going on 26.

The book is very easy reading, perhaps a little too easy and you need to get into it a fair way before the "How to" starts. Personally I am not religious and found the ".. Step 6 - Follow the Scriptures.." a cop out.

Anyway a good light book that gave me a couple of good tips like use "would you" instead of "could you" in a sentence. After all you are asking the child to actually do something not 'if' they can do it.

I have appreciated Wright's book on Communication in Marriage, and thought this one could be helpful to get parents thinking about parenting and talking to children.

And I have found it to be as good as it looks.

Wright stresses letting your children be themselves and not trying to change their basic personalities. But he also gives ideas about helping your child to learn how to deal with their own special personalities.

For example, if you have a child who takes a long time to think and respond, don't ask them to change, but give them extra time to think things through.

I think every parent would benefit by thinking through what he has to say.

I also recommend Tim Kimmel's Grace-based Parenting stimulating.
