Not as much useful information as the first book. The first book in the series is very helpful. I followed the suggestions in the first book, but more as an outline and not to the tee. I have never had my daughter on a very strict routine. This second book talked a lot about routine, structure, discipline and moral training. It was okay information, but beyond a basic routine I must admit I am not a really structured, routine-oriented person and I don't parent that way either. I also had to laugh when they gave the example, "Do you let your child play with the remote control?" Like this was some sort of horrible crime... Uh, yes I do, she can't hurt it. I don't care if she plays with it! This book made it sound like I was a horrible parent if I let my baby play with the remote or do other similar things. Well, I just don't agree with all that. I am a little too laid back for this method. There is some good general advice, but overall, not applicable for everyone's personality and parenting style.
