Doug, September 15, 2006 (view all comments by Doug)
The book's subtitle - "The rot of American culture, absentee and permissive parenting, and the resulting plague of joyless, selfish children" ---- says it all. Author Robert Shaw knows what he is talking about - an MD and family therapist he brings an incredible breadth of experience that more than qualifies him to write a book about how to raise happy and emotionally stable, respectful and self-disciplined children that not only contiribute to society and make a better world for all of us .... but, that it is so important that parents (mom and dad) should demand of themselves a reading "aloud" together this book. Parents will do their life and their children's life a favor. It is an easy reader - you will rip right though it. Every now and then there is some really good information that warrants passing along - this book is one of those standouts (outstanding) in desperate need of being read, and if you are a parent, you will be glad you got this book.
