The best parenting book I've ever encountered

This book reads like a novel. I literally could not put it down, staying up way past my bed time and paying the price the next day. It describes a multi-week workshop that the author held. Each week there are stories from the parents, ideas from the lecturer, questions, problems, hearts being poured out, family stories, including the tales of the adults (now parents) who survived difficult sibling situations. You get to know some of the people in the workshop, and you live through the ups and downs of applying workshop ideas to their families. You want things to end well and you wait with abated breath for what happens next.

On top of that, the ideas are eye-opening, life-changing and at the same time so obvious! Like, how could I fail to see that?!

Never have I encountered such an excellent read in parenting books, nor, come to think of it, any non-fiction that comes to mind. Just don't start reading it at night! You could be a very cranky mommy in the morning!

Really helped me with the toddler years

I have 3 children 3 & under and this book really helped me to understand why my children were acting the way they were and gave great insight on ways to help.

What was most helpful was the examples and questions in the first couple of chapters. It was also helpful to understand that children do have strong emotions and need a way to express them.

I read this book at the same time as Kids, Parents and power struggles and they seemed to work together.

i recomend it warmly

great book!
i wish it was more easy to put it to practice, but that is not the fault of the authours.

very helpful ideas

I thought this book was helpful in shedding light on what is truly going on between siblings. While the concepts to be applied are simple, I found it very helpful to understand the underlying thoughts of the kids. It includes some very basic parenting techniques that really do work! I've found that my 5-year-old responds well to some of the techniques suggested. However, my 2-year-old isn't yet to that level of understanding. So, I've found it beneficial with my older child, and I'm sure my son will catch up once he's a bit older. Overall, I really liked the book.
