The Very Best Parenting Book I Have Read

I also may be partial to Dr. Dixon's book because he has counseled our family through some very difficult times. However, I have found that by taking Dr. Dixon's advice, it has become so much easier to communicate with,understand,and relate to,my son.I strongly recommend this book to all parents--It will definitely help in the most important job of all--parenting your children.Thanks, for all your help Dr. Dixon!

No More Power Struggles

I wish i had discovered unemotional parenting along time ago. Putting Parents in charge teaches you how to disciple with alot less stress. As a mother of 3 teenages i was always on an emotional rollercoster. My inconsistancies allowed them to renegotiate any punishments. Now by making contracts ahead of time allows them to learn that they make the choices and the consequences. It is never too late to get to know your child and teach them responsiblity.

Best Parenting Guide I have read

Excellent book Dr. Dixon. I see myself and my family on almost every page. This has helped me take charge of my kids by putting my parenting energy before they act out, not after they do. My kids have responded so positively to your parenting philosophy,, we have cut down on the struggles a hundred fold,,, Thank you,, A must read for all parents

Excellent book

I may be prejudiced about this book, since Dr. Dixon is our son's psychologist, but his advice is right on the mark. This book gives parents confidence to take charge of their children's upbringing, rather than allowing society to tell us how to raise them.

Helpful parenting guide

I found It doesn't take a village to be simply the best parenting guide out there. I have four kids ranging from age 10 to 17, and Dr. Dixon has helped me a great deal. First he helped me understand what is going on with my kids, and then he helped me set appropriate and consistent limits on them. I was/am a parent that often times let my emotions dictate how I would deal with my teenagers, and at times, I lost control. Dr. Dixon has coached me to parent my teens without the mistakes of emotionality... I am enjoying putting the books ideas into practice. My kids hate it, but I love it. Finally, I feel like I am in charge of my home and of my children.A must read...
