Thought provoking

I admit I like to read books in this genre. This book helped me to understand (even if I don't agree with) the conservative emphasis on "family" and "traditional family". I like what he has to say about character and I was very interested when he segued into real life anecdotes from his own family.

I think this book is a little unfortunate in that if you don't fit a model for a traditional family you may feel as if you are not worthy. I think a judgement about divorce, etc. could have been withheld and the book would not have suffered.

I have not studied this book completely, I read the first quarter and the moralizing about family values began to interfere with the exploration about habits and character. I separate "family values" from "habits and character" because in many cases the decision to end a marriage is a very positive one for some people. Sometimes it is the right thing to do. I would not pass this book onto a divorced friend, I think it would make them feel bad. For a traditional family this book has plenty of great insights that I am sure are well documented by previous reviewers.

An Excellent Source for Parents of Adolescents

I believe this text is a good resource especially after parents have used the texts "The 7 Habvits of Effectivce Teens" to discuss situations with their teens. It is the one good step followup so that both parents and other siblings communicate with each other and do not present divisiveness among themselves.

Presents the reader with a holistic, integrated and principle-centred approach to creating a powerful and positive relationship within the family.
