Less important: Parents.-Teach your kids people skills-Spend time with your child. Enjoy them.-Sedating difficult kids with powerful psychiatric drugs is wrong-It’s easier to give out a pill than to impose consequences for bad behavior-“Your son has ADHD!” - shifts the burden of responsibility from the parent to the doctor-This triad of diagnoses is BS: Autism spectrum / ADHD / Bi-polar-Today’s students are fragile teacups. It does take much for them to give up and retreat.-Today’s kids have ingratitude seasoned with contempt-The question mark in your statements to your kids undermines your authority.-“Let kids decide” - is harmful-Your job as a parent is to educate desire-Change your parenting?

Hands down the best parenting book I have ever read! Dr. Sax may make you question your past/current parenting choices (unless you are already a "just right" parent) but after reading this book you will have the knowledge and courage to make the right choices in the future. Dr. Sax not only gives you the "why" we need to change our current parenting styles, but also arms you heavily with the "how" to change things for the better. I will be recommending this book to every parent I know!Love for this book!! BOOM! Another Dr. Sax hit. I just love this book. It's alarming in its message, but yet easy to read. I think every parent in America needs to read it. I'm so tired of these parenting books that tell you what not to do, but not replacing it with what you should do. I'm tired of the parent peer pressure in our country that has raised these generations of weak, fragile kids who grow up to be unsuccessfull whiners who drag down our country and society. Step up parents!! You have a job to do!!
