I found it truly fascinating and your principles working within a single day!,
By
This review is from: Mercury's Child (Paperback)
Dear Warwick,
I downloaded your e-book (Mercury's Child) a few years ago when I thought my elder son (now 9) behaved "badly". I found it truly fascinating and even though I applied some of your principles immediately (i.e. without going through the book a few times, agreeing on the system with my partner etc) I found them working within a single day!! (It probably shows that my son really was not that bad, only reacting to MY inappropriate behaviour, as you indicated). I found the most useful piece of advice the fact that it is the parents' behaviour that needs to be addressed to achieve any changes in a child's behaviour. How very true. I stared to re-read the book yesterday following a phase of my son's "behaving badly" again and ended up looking up your website and watching some of the programmes on dysfunctional families. My God - it really made me realise that my children are, in fact, good as gold!!! Poor children and poor parents in the programme! I was more sorry for the children because it was the parents (as you say) who created the home environment. I could not agree more with your theory of the right type of consequences. I remember as children, we loved and thrived in "discipline environments" where boundaries (as well as consequences) were clearly and firmly set and understood. It was extremely interesting for me to read in your book that it is always the adult-child relationship that must be address and not the child's bad behaviour as such. My two young sons are a very good example: they tend to behave very differently in my and my husband's countries, both having slightly different standards of what is acceptable behaviour in children. When visiting their relatives my country, they would not even DREAM of behaving in a way which may be acceptable in the UK (e.g. not eating what's on their plate, switching TV without asking for permission first, being very loud in public, etc.). I myself am caught between the two worlds, back home I'm still sometimes seen as a "week" parent, in the UK as "far too strict". But the children are clever - they quickly adapt to external circumstance - for the better or worse as allowed, as you very well know. The book helped me to focus on myself and see how I could improve my own behaviour and the way I react to my children. I just wanted to say that I really admire your work and that I have found your book and advice fascinating and very useful. You may not like hearing this but I have used the book as a "quick fix" several times for the improvement of my children's behaviour (or rather, my own) and, in every instance, it has worked - to my greatest astonishment - almost immediately. What is most important, it has helped my children, as well as the whole of our family, to be more happy and contented. And that is the result of applying only a fraction of you're your recommendation. The aim, of course, is to go through it fully, with my partner, and aspire to create this highly motivating and loving environment that you describe as there is always potential for improvement!:-) I wish you all the best and keep up with your great work!! Best regard, Name Supplied

Suddenly it all makes sense!,
By
This review is from: Mercury's Child (Paperback)
Book explains the inside workings of a child's mind really clearly and then explains why certain things that adults do cause problems.
Once you have read this, it suddenly all becomes clear! Excellent book, would highly recommend
