Featuring a new Introduction by bestselling author Barbara Coloroso, this parenting classic is set to teach a new generation of parents the importance of treating kids with dignity and respect.

    This is the most powerful book and tool to have on hand when raising a family. This enables all parents to understand why our children do what they do; because they're a product of our own engrained upbringing. This teaches parents to stop, think and treat your children with the respect everyone deserves and you will eventually raise wonderful human beings!!

    This should be required reading when you are thinking of spending the rest of your life with someone and having children is a possibility. It is a down to earth book that gives great info and helps you define the questions you may have about raising your children.

    A great parenting book

    Whether your kid is 2 or 20 it's a great way of looking at how to raise a child in this fast-paced world with good old values. From toilet training to getting your kid out of jail, it helps you laugh and keep things in perspective. She's been there and done it.... a teacher, former nun and a mom and wife. I heard her speak in London, and she is absolutely fabulous!
