    A Must Buy!

    Wonderful book. Contains very practical advice on how to change your wording when speaking to your children. I began reading the book one day and using the advice the next--with instantaneous results! Differs from other parenting books in that it doesn't contain alot of vague situational advice. It has very specific instances of the types of phrases parents typically use, and very specific instances of how to reword those phrases into something more effective.
