great stories

This book was helpful for me because it had stories about real families, real struggles, and personal solutions. I've found the most helpful tips always come from other families or parents. This book offers plenty!!

Excellent

A thought provoking book that examines how our family life has slipped away from us because of overscheduling of activities, as well as the addiction to tv and computer. Offers excellent guidelines for getting back on track and reconnecting with our family and community. I am putting some of these ideas to practice in my own family, and find that we are becoming much closer. Who should read this? Anyone who wishes to become closer to their loved ones, and is concerned with the hectic pace of their lives.
