 Kids Are Worth It!: Giving Your Child the Gift of Inner Discipline (Harperresource Book)
ASIN: 0060014318
Customer's Rating: 5
Summary: This book is NOT for lazy parents
Comments: If you don't want to put effort into raising your kids, this is not the book for you. But if you want clear-thinking, responsible kids, and don't mind some effort getting there, you can't have a better reference. Ms Coloroso's advice is clear, and should make you think hard about how you interact with your children. Yes my son is 3 and I'm 30. Yes I'm the parent, but he still has opinions about his life, and some are worth paying attention to. And sometimes I'm wrong. Being the parent doesn't make me God. Also note, I'm usually in the right, listening means that I pay attention to my sons' opinions and wants, not that I cave in to them every time.
Believe me it's much, much harder making a 3 year old take the consequence of a misbehavior, and helping him try to fix his problem himself than it would be to punish him for it and fix things myself, but oh boy does he learn more when I put in the effort.
This is not minimum effort parenting, and it's not about letting your kids always having their own way. It's about teaching them how to think rather than what to think.

Summary: single mom finally gets help!
Comments: I am a single mom with 2 very active boys (ages 9 and 11). I was divorced 3 years ago. My kids learned so much from this book. It was a lifesaver! They realized that they need to get in control and to say what they are feeling. My ex and I also learned not to let our kids manipulate us anymore! I wish we lived near the author so we could send our kids to camp make believe.
