Just what I've Desperately Needed!!
If you don't feel closeness with your child, can't get them to open up even with the kindest efforts, feel like you can't imagine why your relationship isn't good because of all the love you give, and your child would rather spend time with the computer than with you, and they won't listen to you....YOU NEED THIS! I was able to understand instantly the unintentional messages I have been sending! I've read MANY parenting books, never have the results been so immediate--almost magic, and so simple to understand and use. In four days, while still reading, I used/practiced the techniques described--and my 15 year old has responded with profound openess and helpfulness. Because I am respecting his needs as a person (and have learned how to comunicate this), he is in turn respecting my needs! Brilliant! Buy it at ANY cost!!

A Must Read for All Parents
I believe all parents or would be parents shouldhave a copy of this book.It would be a great baby shower gift.Helps you understand yourself and children, and actually makes you like yourself and children.I can't say enough on this book.It brings the best out in you, and also makes you feel like you are not the only parent on earth who goes through tough times in your home raising kids.The book was written over thirty years ago but still works in this day.I use the skills almost all the time with my daughter who is fifteen and I have had the most conversation I have ever had with her since applying the skills the book suggested.Truly themost effective book on parenting I have ever read.

A must read!
I read this book in a communications class in junior college. I do not have kids, but it is the foundation of the way I relate to people and to my students. So many people do not know how to talk with others without blaming. This book shows you how to own your power and let others have theirs, too. ... Read more

Too much of a negative lecture
My daughter was turned off by this book because it said all the things not to do and insufficient focus on what to do.

It's a great book for my kids to understand healthy eating habits!
I have a very picky 18 month old daughter, and an extremely picky 5 1/2 year old son.My son understands that if Popeye eats all his spinach, he becomes big and strong.Well, since spinach isn't very tasty, he refuses to try other vegetables.Since reading this book with my son, he now loves sweet potatoes and says, "Sweet Potatoes makes you big and strong".My daughter was fascinated by the color and illustration of this book and eats whatever her big brother eats.Thank you, Yori, for taking the time to write a book that helps my kids understand healthy eating habits.

A great way to get your kids to eat right!
All of my kids, 11, 5, and 1, were drawn to this book.It really made them consider how their eating habits could be affecting them, both physically and mentally.Overall, very encouraging without boring the kids.Can't wait to read Dr. Srong's upcoming stories! ... Read more

Very Nice
I thought this book was filled with nice recipes - some traditional and some definitely Americanized.I think this would definitely be a book for ages 9 and up, not younger - the recipes are too involved.I found the drawings a little busy and somewhat distracting.Still, a nice book for kids who want to try making some new Asian dishes. ...

Finally, something that works!
I've been struggling with this issue with my 12-year-old son for a couple of years.Trying different techniques and always feeling frustrated that he didn't take ownership of his weight problem.What a wake up call it was to understand that it was me who was unwilling to take owneship for my part.When you read this book you can't help but be inspired and motivated to make the changes in your own behavior that will truely help your child.My son has lost nearly 10 lbs and the comments from his coaches and team mates this year in Little League have completely changed his perception and attitude about himself.As a parent, you just want your child to be happy.To see his self esteem soar has been amazing.If you've tried diets, programs, or tactics to get your kid to change, you need to read this book to understand how YOU must change.

This Plan Really Makes Sense!
I found this book extremely helpful and very encouraging.The author's personal story is one every mother can relate to and admire.I have read many books to try and help my overweight child, but I have always felt as though he was being isolated and deprived.The difference with this book is that it emphasizes the participation of the whole family to work together as a team toward the goal of better nutrition and physical fitness.This makes a lot of sense to me and has been great for our family.The CD and printable tools are very informative easy to use.There were a few quirks using it on my Mac system, but they seem to be fixed now.I think the printable shopping lists are the greatest!Thank you Mrs. Alexander for telling your story and developing this much needed program. ...

Great, Delicous, Easy Recipes
My First Baking Book is filled with recipes that kids will love (I know, I'm a kid!)I hate apples, but i've made about 4 recipes with apples that are low in sugar, and I ate them until my stomach felt like it would explode.The recipes are also modified so that they have minimal amounts of sugar and fat, but they still taste great!! I would definately recommend this book to anybody of any age! ... Read more

Best Line Worker Source Available
My employees appreciate the cartoons and clear messages.We have had the best transfer of learning to the workplace using this book.

Excellent Training Reference
This text is a great way to introduce Food employees to the basics of Food Safety and Sanitation. The text is written in a style that explains the concepts in a language suitable for Food employees but does not talk down to the reader (as many introductory texts do!) In addition, the humorous cartoon-style graphics add to understanding the concepts while adding to the enjoyment of the text. One of the biggest advantages is the inexpensive cost . . . for a few dollars, a Food Establishment operator can purchase several copies for their in-house training and not break the bank in the process. ...
