This is just another child training book. This is for parents who fear that their child might control them (and other nonsense). I was hoping for a more attachment parenting style book, with tips on how to get my child through this difficult growth period using a love and logic approach and this is not it. He suggests cry-it-out methods and techniques that will only exacerbate already tense situations by using "formulas" to get your child to behave. I tried this stuff on my first child and it only made our relationship difficult, caused him to lose trust in me when I ignored his cries, and ultimately, he began to lose weight. Then, I came across much more sound advise from Focus on the Family and Dr. Sears. If you want advise on how to raise a well-behaved child, that you come to love and understand, and who loves and understands you, see the Dr. Sears Parenting Library.
