Customer Reviews

A refreshing, thought-provoking, and important book.

In his strong voice, John Breeding makes it clear that our children deserve to be accepted and valued for their unique and wonderful qualities, not evaluated, pigeon-holed, labeled, or drugged. It is my hope that this refreshing, thought-provoking, and very important book will be read and taken to heart by all those fortunate enough to have children, work with children, or advocate on their behalf.

Enlightening For Any Parent or Educator

This is one of the best books I have read into the understanding of a child's true nature, and how to foster an environment conducive to a child and parent's success. It was a clear insight into why the massive drugging of children has taken place in America, and exposes all the frauds of mental health professionals which are not really helping children or parents overcome serious problems. I have found myself reading particular segments twice to grasp the serious nature of the book. This is a book that any parent or educator in public or private school would greatly derive productive results in reading. As a home-schooling parent of many years now the book clearly placed me at even a higher level of understanding children, and what they need from all the adults around them starting from birth to adulthood. It is an eye-opener book, and when you think you know it all you will find this book can teach you even more knowledge. It was a pleasure to finish this book, and be left with some more wisdom on how to make a powerful difference for children that will motivate and improve thier lives.
