Just started reading:
I just started reading the book. It gives good advice, but it is very much common sence. So far I am already doing everything they are suggesting. I am still hoping to get some new ideas from the book. I think the types of parents who need this book probably won't be reading it.
Wonderful!:
This is a wonderful and informative book. It opened my eyes to some things that I'm doing that could actually not benefit my children in the future. It's an eye-opener and inspiring for sure. Thank you for such a well written book!
Helpful and practical:
I loved this book! I agree with the reviewer who said that Rigby's chapter about self-esteem versus self-respect was worth the price of the book. It's something I never thought of before. In fact, the entire book made me think, pray, and reconsider some of the ways I'd been parenting (or non-parenting).

But I admire her for her strong faith and her practical, personal and politically... more info
Must have for all parents!:
This book is an excellent source of wisdom as to how to combat societies view of entitlement. It puts forth valid agruments for building self-efficacy in your child and how just worrying about their self esteem is doing more harm than good. I strongly recommend it to parents of children of all ages. But the younger you start the better!
