IT WORKS!

The book is a must for any parent with a child that is out of control or wants to push the boundrys.. It worked within a matter of hours and continues to work. Nothing to loose, give it a try....

Helps a lot!

Very easy to understand, just wish it was structured better for audiobook. I think it's best in conjunction with the book as a companion

not going to end well

Training children like animals might be effective initially but what are you really teaching them in the long run? Probably a useful book if things are totally out of control at home.
