Great book

What I liked most about this book is that I felt like you could read one chapter, work on some things then read the next. I don't have time to sit down & read a whole book but a chapter or 2 per week works for me.

It really makes a lot of sense that your children have so many different emotions but don't know how to express them. I read this at the same time as siblings without rivalry and they really complemented each other.


great advice for parents

This is a very helpful, practical, easy to use and understand guide for how to see things from a different perspective when it comes to dealing with your children. Eminently and infinitely helpful...highly recommended!

Great book for parents who want some guidance

I haven't completely finished this book, but love it. It offers wonderful advice on how to work with and connect with your child vs. fighting with them. The chapter on temperment has been an eye-opener for me. I better understand why my daughter and I often have struggles and now have the ability to create strategies to avoid those struggles. I highly recommend this book. It's hard to find the time to read when you're a busy parent, but make time for this one.






good addition to parenting repertoire

when i started reading this book, i found the author's advice to lack much parental backbone. however, as i kept reading i actually found that the author raised some excellent points. i learned more about myself and my child through her sections on personality assessment. most parenting books say "don't explain, just act/punish." i feel explaining has been helpful to our son and in the end will help him become a more emotionally intelligent human being. i would not have this book as the only parenting book on the shelf, but it makes a good companion to 1.2.3. Magic or books advocating that style of discipline.

Excellent, approachable book on working with your child's temperament

I bought three books at the same time from Amazon: Kids, Parents, and Power Struggles; How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk; and Kids Are Worth It! and read them in that order. Kids, Parents, and Power Struggles was my favorite because it really explained some key things for me. For example, I have a much better understanding of introverts and extroverts, which actually benefits my marriage most of all. I'm an extrovert who thinks while I talk, but my husband is an introvert who wants to be alone in a corner pondering how he feels. Because of this book, I'm able to give my husband the time he needs to figure out his emotions and I don't go crazy trying to get him to talk. Our daughter is an extrovert like me, so I know Daddy will need quiet time away from us noisy extroverts.

Kids, Parents, and Power Struggles covers so many things, including anger and how it affects us physiologically, understanding that there's a reason behind your child's tantrum or tears, determining your child's temperament, and teaching life skills in a constructive way. But most of all, this book does it in a way that doesn't make feel like I'm not a good enough parent or that this book's philosophy is the only way to view things. I will probably use most of the things this book teaches in my parenting, and I can't say that about the other two books I purchased at the same time.

To sum up this book, I would say that it's very approachable, the recommendations are helpful and doable immediately, and there are some very good examples to illustrate what the author is trying to teach us. If you're interested in learning about a parenting method that incorporates little or no spanking, includes quality time understanding your child's temperament and then teaching your child words to go with his/her feelings, and offers opportunities to problem-solve and negotiate *with* your child, this is an excellent book.
