Short but effective

Good book. Prudent and caring advice for parents. I was glad I listened to it. I found many takeaways.

Might be helpful but....

Biggest load of poorly done scripted nonsense ever.
It's ridiculous to think that this is a real life account of a parent group where parents vent, learn new techniques that apply to their exact situations, try them out and come back with successful results. If the theory being presented is actually worth a damn, which I suspect it actually is, then lay out the theory and give some instructions. Trying to pass this off as how a parent group in this day and age worked through problems degrades the actual message and theory as irrelevant. Each chapter could be summed up in 2-3 sentences, add 2-3 lines of example, and give 2-3 sentences to sum up the general affect on the child. Done.

Totally out of date

I was looking for help with my teens. Advice is trite and antiquated. Do not waste your time or money.
