Lots of good & practical tips. Have already incorporated some & impressed how well they have been received. Borrowed the book from a friend but going to buy my own copy so I can mark it up & keep referring back to.

This book definitely held true to the title. Some of the punishments ("corrections") might be a little odd or over the top for me, but it had some helpful ideas. It gave me a little bit of a guilt complex because it sounds like every discussion in their home is based on scripture. I got this book from the library, but I think it would be better to own it because a lot of the ideas included scripture references to teach or correct and there was a section with specific prayers you can pray with your child.

This book is filled with lots of creative ideas for parenting. It is Christian based, and while at times I thought it was a little over-the-top with the scripture, etc, I appreciated the positive tone. It is very encouraging & inspired me to think outside the box with discipline & parenting.

WONDERFUL! So easy to read, very humorous, and so very practical. Lisa also makes sure that you aren't expecting this to be 'THE' parenting book because every child is different. All of this the book and advice and ideas are Biblically based. I think I am going to have to buy this book because I have already dog-eared many pages of the library's book. (To be fair, these same pages had been previously dog-eared!)

Personal stories about parenting... great "tool box" for the different areas of parenting your young child. Includes scripture reference to help your child know what God says... not always just because you said:)

This book has some GREAT ideas for not only disciplining your children, but also motivating them to make right decisions. The personal antecdotes are a bit cutesy at times, but Lisa really does have a lot of creative ideas. I am constantly referring back to this book as Isaac enters each new developmental stage.

This book is full of practical tips for readers and a wide variety of topics are addressed. Not every reader will agree with every discipline technique (called "corrections" in this book). Some of the discipline and expectations might seem strict depending on the reader's personal experience and their child's personality. Overall, I was pleased enough with the content to buy this book as a reference, especially for the scripture applications and the prayer ideas. There is a bit of similarity between this book and "Don't Make Me Count to Three" by Ginger Plowman, but I liked this book better because it contained more of Lisa's personal story of her family and many more creative practical suggestions.

This is an easy-to-read parenting book full of hands on, practical tips to apply NOW! I like how she gave some good food for thought and then followed that with a toolbox section that applies each chapter. It's also easy to refer to and will be a book you will want to keep close to your finger tips through the years of parenting.
