    • 1/5
      Filled with old fashioned, religious bigotry, homophobic nonsense, with no valuable content or advice.
    • 5/5
      Godly advice, very clear and practical! Thank you so much Dr. Dobson!!
    • 5/5
      I thought The Five Love Languages for Kids by Gary Chapman was good. I thought How to Really Love Your Child by Dr. Campbell was great. This book is even better. Dr. Dobson begins by explaining how self-esteem can be eroded. Next he illustrates strategies for parents to help their child overcome low self-esteem. There are also "Question and Answer" sprinkled throughout the book which help emphasize the points he is making. Then there is a section on coping with self-esteem trouble. He also includes a section on preparing for adolescents, but I think I'll come back to that section another time--maybe next year. My favorite part is where Dobson covers the strategy of compensation. This strategy isn't really addressed in either of the "Love" books I have reviewed because it is not a way to show love, but rather a way to teach a child to rise above. Even though this book came out in the early 70's, the information is still so relevant today that it is almost frightening. This should be required reading of anyone thinking about having kids AND RE-reading at each stage of a child's development.
    • 5/5
      Every parent or teacher or child minder needs to read this to remember that we are growing adults and must be invested in that in all we do with kids
    • 2/5
      Not as useful as I expected. Highlights challenges but not much useful suggestions. Sections regarding spanking and too much religious references are a bit of a turn off.
