Taming the Lecture Bug: And Getting Your Kids to Think by Joey and Carla Link is a helpful tool that will give parents good direction and understanding about what good parenting is all about and raising responsible children. For all those parents who complain that their children do not obey, this book is a perfect read as it helps them define the problem and get to the heart of it. The practical tools shared in the book for taming the tongues of parents and getting children to be more responsible are useful and, being based on biblical principles, these tips work well.

I found the topic engaging and relevant, and most parents will be able to connect well with what the author is trying to convey. The book is helpful for parents to see their own mistakes and make changes so they can have a better relationship with their children. The author handles the topic methodically and extensively, giving practical tips on how to stay away from lecturing too much. It is a good manual for parenting as it is full of wisdom, practical tips, insights, and solutions.

Following the tips and suggestions in the book, parents will see their children becoming more responsible, obedient, and beginning to think for themselves, restoring peace and harmony at home. The book is a must-have in everyone’s personal collection as parents get straight-forward answers to questions regarding handling their kids, and it gives clear cut examples so that they can train their kids to think for themselves.
