Start Revolution In Your Family...Tonite!

Every kid wants to have cool parents. This does not mean parents hip to the latest styles, nor parents with no rules whatsoever. What every kid really wants are parents who are able to keep their cool no matter what. Kids want parents who are far less anxious and far more levelheaded than they are. Your kids want you to remain unflappable, even when they flip out.

Turns out, that’s exactly what they need.

Screamfree Parenting is the principle-based relationship approach that’s inspiring parents everywhere to truly revolutionize their families. Throwing away many of the child-centered technique-based approaches, the ScreamFree way compels you to instead focus on yourself, grow yourself up and calm yourself down. By calming down and still remaining connected to your kids, you begin to operate less out of your deepest fears and more out of your highest principles, transforming your relationships in the process.

Summary: Not Impressed
Comment: OK, I bought and read ScreamFree Parenting and have to say I was unimpressed. He really does not give you any "action oriented" parenting advice and I could probably boil the book down to a few bullet points:

1. Work on keeping yourself calm in the face of children melting down.
2. Give them latitude to be themselves, learn privacy, and make better choices (read very much like free-spirit parenting of the 60's, including suggestions that you allow your teenage daughter to have boys in her room with the door closed, because you trust her and respect her privacy -- yeah, right).
3. Force children to suffer consequences for their decisions, even if it's difficult for you, as the parent, to follow through with those consequences.

I can't say I would recommend this to anyone -- even getting a library copy would be a stretch, as there are much better parenting books available.

Summary: Great Advise
Comment: This was very helpfull. I read this book and then shared it with my daughter. My children are grown and I help with my grandchildren, I think this is a very helpful book. I really enjoyed reading it.

Summary: waste of time and money
Comment: All this book gives you is advice that you need to make a change. There are barely any tools and advice on how to change. I need examples on what to say instead of SCREAMING my head off and threats. A waste of time and money in my opinion. Too wordy and not enough clear cut advice.

Summary: Must Have 4 Every Parent
Comment: Just get the book! Easy read for both moms and dads. Don't be that crazy person who yells at the kid. Buy the book and pick up a copy of "Just tell me what to say"

Summary: Great insights into parenting
Comment: I thought this was a great book on CD, one that really made me think. There are some folks who wrote 1 star reviews that wanted to have step by step directions in how to implement these ideas, but that is somewhat difficult when the main idea is to focus on yourself and not react to your child's behavior.

Also, being a parent of a two year old, I realize there are no formulas on how to be a parent, no "do this first, then do that..." kind of instruction. So if you're looking for that kind of advice, this may not be the book to read. But I doubt you're going to find that anywhere anyway.

Each chapter has reflection questions which are valuable, and ways the author tries to make his philosophy practical and useable. The author also reads the book, and has a good delivery and is very listenable.
