Cline, Jim Fay Pinon Press, 2006 This book is in line with recent studies For the people reviewing this book who think it is cruel to children, or might lead to a drop in self-esteem, I suggest reading a study by a Dr. Dweck.

I read most of the 400+ reviews and noticed that only those folks who DID NOT USE this book gave it negative reviews.
