Reviews
"Jed Baker, in this excellent book, gives us the tools to deal with and prevent out-of-control behaviour. Wisely, he leads us grown-ups to understand how to change our own behaviour in order to help our children change theirs." --Carol Stock Kranowitz, author of best-seller The Out-of-Sync Child
"This is a reminder that no one is perfect. Each child is different, and what works for one child may not work for the next child. He also gives practical, common-sense advice." - Washington Times Herald
