blueeyedshook 's review for:

The New Dare to Discipline by James C. Dobson
4.0

While most of what I was looking for from this book was found in only three of the chapters (and those three chapters were fantastic), the rest of the book was worth while as well.

Sometimes I feel that in an effort to show why we parents need to focus more on discipline to avoid the common pitfalls of child rearing, often Dr. Dobson's books with their bad statistics scare the poo out of me! He then follows up the stats with ways to avoid them by disciplining. But sometimes I think it's just too many scary stats! I don't want to have my head in the sand but I also don't want to parent out of the fear of what could happen!

All in all, though, I agree with 90% of Dr. Dobson's advice in the majority of his books, and I already have the next one lined up to read.
