5.0 out of 5 stars The "Men Are From Mars..." of child rearing: an eye-opener, 5 Nov 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Your Competent Child: Toward New Basic Values for the Family (Hardcover)

I have read the Danish version of this book and have recommended it to everyone I know ever since. If you are going to read one book about child rearing, I suggest this one. It contains some very simple principles that will leave you wondering if that is really all it takes. When you've tried it out, however, you will be wondering instead how some situations that used to take up so much of your time and energy (e.g. the wellknown experience of taking your children to the supermarket) can now be handled without conflict. (Note however, that the book is not (only) about how to handle conflicts with you children but about child rearing in general). The book gives everyday examples that makes it very down to earth and at the same time gives you some places to start applying the principles, which seem so simple, but really (at least to many people) take a whole new way of thinking about your child. That is, as a competent person whose statements about what they want should be taken seriously even if you can't or won't give it to them. And how they feel should be taken seriously even if you can't or won't change the situation. Sounds cryptic? Read the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for parents - and non parents as well, 6 Mar 2001

By	tomcat@metrixsystems.com (France) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Your Competent Child: Toward New Basic Values for the Family (Hardcover)

Simply a revolutionary piece of work! Finally someone who has the answer to the question of conflict resolution. But more: To have respect for anything one has to have self respect - Read this book. If 6+ Stars could be given then this book deserves it. The book is short and to the point and as such can only provide a framework and act as an introduction - as Jesper well writes. Hopefully Jesper will develop more details in one or more subsequent volumes. This book will change your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars An eye opener
The book is beautiful, and at the same time both easy to read and straight to the point. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Are we getting paranoid?
I used to think child-rearing was relatively uncomplicated, until I read this. In actuality, I was already implementing much of what Juul covers in this book, but there were times... Read more
