Review # 1 was written on 2007-10-02 00:00:00 Wesley Parker I was one of the camp that loved "Babywise" and also their series "Growing Kids God's Way". A few pages into this book, I decided it was one of those books I would need to underline in, so I could remember the things that really stood out to me. Very quickly, I found myself underlining and dog-earring pages about as often as I had with my college textbooks. Let me tell you this is good stuff! The most helpful book I've read for the tween years recently. I'm still soaking it in and I will need to review all the pages I marked. But this was a great book! I highly recommend it. Note: Babywise isn't something everybody enjoyed because of the more structured sleep/eat cycles that they recommend in it. But, even if you didn't like Babywise, I recommend giving this book a good look if you have preteens especially since there is no mention of that kind of structured training.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-03-10 00:00:00 Robert Slayton Just about the WORST guide to raising teens that I have ever read. I should have known since his Babywise book borders on child abuse. Don't be pulled into this fanatisism. He has been kicked out of 3 churches he and his wife belonged to(and excommunicated from one of them) being deemed 'unfit for public ministry'. Dr. Ezzo has been estranged from his own adult children for many years. Guess his advice isn't working too well. BE CAREFUL, this is dangerous.
