5 Stars 20 minutes to Affective Parenting: Communication Skills
I think the video was right on.. Gave me a lot of tips and things to do and say when certain situations arrise with my children. I would recommend this and any other materials that you have to anyone.
5 Stars great tips that are easy to remember
I think everyone should have to have some child rearing education. I always here how parents do it differently with child #2 and child #3 - they learned on the job.
I wanted a little cheat sheet so that I could start early with child #1.
This video was so easy to watch and so easy to understand.
It’s not as much disciplining as it is giving information to your children and creating expectations through that information.
When we sat to watch the video, my husband said, “makes perfect sense.”
We have used the tips successfully ever since.
5 Stars Practical, Effective and Builds Relationship
Awesome easy to implement strategies, with immediate results towards positive behavour. These techniques improve relationships with children, are strength based and practical. A strong point of the DVD is the modeling of both scenarios - how not to use a method and how it looks when implemented in a positive way. Short (twenty minutes) and straightforward.
5 Stars wonderful guide
This DVD touches on great communication skills to use in your family–making it easy for everyone in the family to learn how to improve communication and behaviors. I would recommend this to any family who is looking to create a stronger relationship within the family, or for any family who is just looking for suggestions of ways to be more effective in communication.
5 Stars Great for “new” or “used” parents
This DVD is very useful for first-time parents or parents with more than one child. Sometimes we start off great with our parenting but the hassles of every day grind can erode the way we interact with our kids. As a father of 2 boys (ages 7 and 4) I found this DVD useful for helping me to be the parent I want to be while still having my kids become the kids I want them to be. This DVD gives GREAT information on building skills so that I can still parent my kids my way only more EFFECTIVELY.

Nanny to the Rescue Straight Talk and Super Tips for Parenting in the Early Years
America’s nanny offers a large dose of healthy parenting advice with secrets for raising happy, secure, and well-balanced babies and toddlers.
Babies don’t come with instructions. And since today’s parents are so overwhelmed with schedules and demands, they have little time to bone up on their parenting skills. Often removed from grandparents and relatives who in times past lived next door or just down the street, they have no one to guide them through the disorienting world of raising children. Enter Nanny to the Rescue! Michelle LaRowe, 2004 International Nanny Association “Nanny of the Year,” gives her tried and true solutions to childcare. Her expertise with chapters titled “Who’s the boss?” and “Discipline is not a four letter word” gives confidence to parents who need specific ideas for real day-to-day problems. A proud member of Christian Nannies, Michelle offers foundational truths sure to help encourge moms and dads.

2 Stars Would prefer a “secular” version
Most of the information in this book is really not earth shattering and is basic common sense. Also, this book is NOT for non-Christians and should really mention the fact that it is very Christian-based in its title or description– I was completely taken aback by it and frankly, put off.
5 Stars GREAT BOOK!
I could not put this book down! Michelle LaRowe did an awesome job!
5 Stars Great book
Being a new mom, I needed a book to guide me in toddler parenting w/o compromising discipline and love- this was the book I needed. It was a great plus to know that the author is a Christian (my faith also), thus she explains parenting from Christ’s perspective.
5 Stars Must read
Informative and useful. A great book with practical advice you can use right away that actually works.
5 Stars Essential!
I’m a nanny with over 5 years of experience with multiples. You wrote the book I’ve always wanted to! Way to go! I plan on getting one for my employers when I leave this job and will also be purchasing one to keep for myself at home.
