Your children are worth the work!

Dr. Myers shares practical and realistic ways to help every child (before and after the teen years) learn to control her/his emotions and behaviors. It is our responsibility as parents to shape our children into the leaders they can become. This text helps every parent learn to recognize our own parenting style, the love/learning styles of our children and how we can work through those differences with accountability and without blame and anger. As a public school educator and administrator through 2 decades, I see the posiibility of these techniques to change the lives of our most vulnerable souls. Dr. Myers gives sound advice for all prospective parents, parents, grandparents and everyone who loves children.

No nonsense parenting.

Great practical parenting advice. Made me take a good long look at how I handled issues in the past. I've read it once and I'm going to read it again. It's an easy read. IT JUST MAKES SENSE! I'm going to gift it to family and friends. It's never too late to be the parent/person God wants you to be.

Excellent parenting tool!

Dr. Myers' book definitely fills a void in the Christian parenting genre, giving a down-to-earth approach to an extremely difficult yet common problem among countless families in today's society. It offers hope by giving step-by-step instructions to frustrated parents that have reached their limits with their defiant teens. As a reference librarian, I will not hesitate to recommend Toe-to-Toe with Your Teen at every opportunity to parents of children of all ages. Dr. Myers, your book was long overdue and will be a valued tool for families.

Greatest book on parenting I have ever read

This book has empowered me to be the parent God intended me to be. I have shared this book with family and friends and cannot say enough about how it has impacted my spiritual walk and family in a positive way. I highly recommend this read to all parents and grandparents no matter how old your child may be!

Must read for parents of teens!

I wish that Jimmy would have written this before now--a great read for parents of children of all ages!
