I just finished reading this while the girls were (and still are!) sick. What I liked about this book is that its not as hard core alternative as many books out there that I seem to be drawn to. :) This is one I could actually reccomend to a more middle ground parent. Though it is not "Christian" it is spiritually minded and gave me some ideas that I could apply. Much of it is similar to things I've read before but at the end of each chapter is a practical suggestion section that gave me some new ideas. One thing I read that I thought was such a great explanation that I wrote it down was the difference between Tattling and Telling. "Telling the truth is when you are trying to be helpful and protect someone from getting hurt, and tattling is when you are trying to get someone in trouble." What a great question to ask your kids once they know the difference...are you telling or tattling.
