Customer Reviews

a "must read" book

Ross Campbell (How to Really Love/How to Really Parent) is one of the few authors who really "get it" as far as child rearing/adult self-help goes!! Biblical, balanced, easy to read; he's the best! I also love Susan Forward (Toxic Parents/Emotional Blackmail), Martha Heineman Pieper/William J. Pieper (Addicted to Unhappiness/Smart Love), and Alice Miller (For Your Own Good).

How to Really Love your Teen.

We use this book at our Center as part of parenting classes. We have created questions and outlines from each chapter and we use them to teach the class. We are an education and support non-profit group. This book is new to the class. We have been using the book "How to Really Love your Child" as part of the class for about 5 years. The book is short, easy to understand, and full of great information to apply to the raising your children. We at the Center highly recommend this book.

classic

This is the classic starter book in child rearing. The one or two religious comments that the author makes, are negligible. What makes the book a must is the unsurpassed simplicity of advice based on common-sense, enormous real-life experience, and wisdom. Read this first, then Dr. James Jones. Both are a must if you want healthy kids.

Hope in a paperback

This book spoke volumes to me as I raise my older teenagers. With practical suggestions based on sound biblical teaching, this is a Godsend for any parent. The chapters on parental self control and dealing with teenage anger were especially constructive. The hope which permeates this book is that parents can make an enormous, life-changing difference in their child's life regardless of the outside influences. Highly recommend this book and only wish I had read it years ago.

Easy reading with some basic good approaches.

I wish I had read this when my child was 12 instead of 16 but I find it helping me to be a better parent and only hope that I will eventually reach my daughter using his sensible approach. There are a few jewels in this book that I had missed in guiding my children.
