A Valuable Parenting Tool !!!

This book is full of real-life problems and solutions that arise in every home accross America. The true stories from Bomar Edmonds' experience as a therapist and as a parent are both seroius and humerous and make it's wisdom easy to read, understand, and apply to your own family. It has given me more confidence as a parent. It has helped me to take charge of my children and "stick to my guns". It is a geat reminder that the parents are supposed to be in charge of the children, not the children in charge of the parents. They say children don't come with an instruction manual. If they did, this should be it!!!
