I unfortunately read this book long after I could apply its great information and tools to the raising of my youngest son. In fact, I cried a number of times as I was reading it, wishing so much I'd had this information. It's THE best parenting book I've read and I've read MANY. I've given it as gifts to many of my younger colleagues and my adult kids to help them in raising my grandchildren.

Thank you to the authors for the research and hard work that went into writing such a useful parenting tool!
