This book takes a while to get through since it isn't the most entertaining book I've ever read, but it has lots of great ideas and suggestions for parenting. I enjoyed being reminded of useful suggestions. The book talks a lot about helping the children develop problem solving skills and encouraging them to be part of finding solutions around the home.

Learn to raise a self-disciplined child who is confident, independent . . . and happy. Raising a Self-Disciplined Child is the show more groundbreaking book parents have been waiting for--a remarkably positive approach to a style of discipline that builds children up-from the acclaimed authors of Raising Resilient Children. Filled with realistic, practical strategies and sample scenarios, it shows you ways to teach children of any age, from preschool to adolescence, the value of self-control, self-reliance, and self-assurance--the all-important skills that will last a lifetime. Praise for Raising Resilient Children "Practical and clear in its suggestions, direct and supportive in its tone, Raising Resilient Children is the perfect book for parents searching for a caring method to help their children grow into healthy, loving, and mature adults." --William Pollack, Ph.D., author of Real Boys "Brooks and Goldstein help mothers and fathers focus on their child's strengths, not on his or her weaknesses. The result is a happier, more resilient child." --Michael Thompson, Ph.D., author of i>Raising Cain show less
With anecdotes and practical advice, this book does a good job at what it offers. It also contains a section for you to write in it and make it your own, but since I got this book from the Library I did not think it proper to do so.

The book has a pretty typical presentation. It splits the ideas to make you more resilient into different chapters and gives explanations on how to achieve your goals.

While it wasn't particularly phenomenal or outstanding I assume that following the advice in the show more book would help almost anyone out in their lives. show less
