The best parenting advice EVER
Rating  (5)
Date: 2008-11-24
I read this book 20 years ago as part of a parenting class. I have a strongwilled, intelligent, high energy child who is now 25. We were struggling with how to keep 'the good' things and help her control the 'out of control' things... This book set the foundation for everything we did. Natural consequences work. Respect for her 'right's works. Teaching her that we have 'rights' too works.
Today, she's working productively, has a master's degree, is a caring, wonderful friend (and daughter)... and... we give this book to all of our young friends with their 'first babies'.... or second if we meet them later.. So I've bought MANY of them over the years .. and I always get a 'thank you SOOO much' after they've read the book.

The Best Parenting Book
Rating (5)
Date: 2008-10-24
I first purchased this book 21 years ago when my oldest daughter was 9 months old. I didn't want to be the same type of parent as my parents with yelling and spanking. With the help of Children: The Challenge, my husband and I have raised two beautiful daughters with many compliments on how well-mannered and polite they are. People often joke that if they could be guaranteed a child exactly as my oldest, they would not hesitate to have children. I now purchase this book to give to friends that are expecting their first child.

Dreikurs Children the Challenge
Rating (5)
Date: 2008-09-10
I raised my children on this philosophy, a few things I disagreed with but most of his basic principles were extremely beneficial, considering there were 2 children and my husband was an only child and my sister was 14 years older, so we had no idea about sibling interactions. The 2 children are now 37 & 39 and decent, responsible human beings, and they are very close as brother and sister. Interestingly enough, my daughter now has a child and seems to have the same kind of philosophy as I, much of it Dreikur's based. I highly recommend for it places responsibility where it belongs in raising and living life with your children and entire family.

Essential reading for all parents

I was given this book when my daughter was young and found it excellent and easy to read after a long day dealing with children. The examples are a bit dated but it is easy to get over that with such good practical advice on raising responsable children. I now share it with all parents to be that I know.

This is a very good book.
Dreikurs is the second master in the history of Individual Psychology.
Go look for him on wikipedia!
He shares with us some of his wisdom.
The adlerian principles are clearly described and Dreikurs uses them to make the differences between what is useful and what is not useful in children behaviour. Also he gives solution and discusses a lot of cases.
I consider this book like a referential one to understand the adlerian psychology.
In the meantime this book is gold for those who work with children!
Have a good reading!
