Customer Reviews

Proven to work!!

I have "Don't Be Afraid to Discipline". I am a teacher and I recommend it to all of my parents. They buy it, read it, and thank me for recommending something that helps to shed some light on what they do or not do and how to do things better.Kids need limits and parents need someone to remind them of all that good parenting of years ago. One last thought, I have attended some of her seminars personally. Made me a better teacher!!

This is a life saver!

This book was a life saver - it's helped me beyond words! Thanks, thanks, thanks to Dr. Peters for making this available to this very concerned family. I love the daily assignment sheet idea.

Saw you on the TODAY SHOW...

Saw your interview on the TODAY SHOW and it really made sense. I read the book in one sitting and fully agree with the idea that kids need their parents' help and involvement each day to keep them on track in school. I look forward to my sons having great grades this year in school!

Getting off on a good foot

School started here in Floida last week and after reading Dr. Peter's book my 7th grader began the first day of school using the program. It's terrific! This is the first time that she knows what she has to do everyday and actually gets it done. I wish I had known about this system when my son was in high school.

best book on getting kids to do homework!

Finally, a book that is written in a language that the kids and I can understand! The Daily Assignment Sheet works great, and I finally have a way of keeping up with my three son's homework. A must read for any parent!
