Honey, I Wrecked The Kids - Funny Parenting T-Shirt for Moms & Dads | Perfect for Family Gatherings & Casual Wear

I bought this book three weeks ago, along with a few other books on parenting, and I've already seen so many amazing results from this book that I just could not wait to post a review. This is, by far, the most useful book I've found for raising my 2 1/2 year-old. When I see other parents confronting their kids, like in a supermarket, I have to resist the urge to offer advice that seems ridiculously obvious after reading this book by Alyson Schafer. Alyson covers the nuts and bolts of child psychology, and teaches you how to see the motivation behind the behaviors that children exhibit. She gives plenty of real-world examples, so it is easy to start analyzing "negative" behaviors right away. After teaching you what the child is "really" after, Alyson gives what I have found to be the best ways to handle the situation. Again, she gives plenty of examples on how to respond appropriately. This is a book about truly "raising" your children, not about controlling them. It turns out that by empowering our children and allowing them to grow, the fights just stop happening. Instead of ordering my daughter around, I'm empowering her to make choices, and the results have been astonishing and immediate. I want all of my baby-sitters to read this book.
