This handy reference book may become an indispensable part of your family's life." -- from the foreword by William Sears, M.D. Perfect Parenting is parenting with a plan. It is based on:
You'll learn what to do about back talk, dawdling, interrupting, stubbornness, whining. You'll find ways to get your kids to do the chores, stop ignoring you, and clean up their own messes. You'll even learn what to do about other people's children! Elizabeth Pantley designed a questionnaire addressing discipline problems and sent it to hundreds of parents. Their answers shaped this book to make it the most useful, practical book on discipline available today. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - useful, but not so muchI bought this book after reading the rave reviews here, but I was somewhat deceived by it. I think that some the deception stems out of the fact that I already owned a book by E. Pantley ( Kid Cooperation, which I recommend) and I found the author repeating itself in this book.

She loves this book. Her husband has read it too. They find it very informative and a great guide for first-time parents. Rating: - Great Resource!I loved the ideas this book suggests. I've been dealing with my daughter's tantrums due to the new baby, and this book has been extremely helpful. It not only gives me ideas on how to calm my daughter down, but it also shows me how to calm myself down. I think every parent knows what I'm talking about. Rating: - A great guide!"Perfect Parenting" is not about being a perfect parent. As a mom of two, I've come to realize we do the best we can with what we've got, and there's no such thing as perfect. Elizabeth Pantley's book is a solid guide that offers a nurturing hand in moments of distress or cluelessness. She's a mom of four. And she REALLY knows her stuff! I found the book especially helpful in dealing with issues of lying or rough behavior. Kudos to Elizabeth for another job well done. ~Christine ...
