I thought that this read was simply incredible. This book is well written and easily understood as the authors breakdown their concepts step by step. As a children's therapist and a clinical social worker, I would recommend anyone who works with children, or who has children of their own, to read this book. I picked this up to help the parents of my clients I see at the community mental health center.
Something I specifically loved about this book was the breakdown of information and how the author included little comics to see how the information could be implemented into a situation with dialogue. First time parents and parents who are struggling should read this book to make informed decisions on their parenting skills.
