The book does have some helpful tidbits, but the overall tone that “this will work for all chidren” is overly confident. Not a bad idea to skim it if you are reading everything written on the subject, but there are better books out there.

There are two hypothetical families that the book follows throughout the course of the program. Lengthy backstories are given for both. One is a family where the wife dropped out of jr college when she married, and supported her husband financially through college, dropping her job as a secretary when she has her first child. This family lives in the midwest. The other family is ultimately a single Mom, living on the coast, who’s husband leaves her because he feels emasculated by her career success. She gets the kids, since they “both know even without discussing it that they are primarily her responsibility”.
I’m not looking for a book that covers every type of family everywhere, and I don’t need it to be totally politically correct. But enough of a backstory is given here, that we can pretty much predict how these folks vote. (I’d also venture a guess as to how the author votes.) And the stories are completely irrelevant. Other books (like Supernanny’s) focus on behaviors and techniques, and family dynamics are only discussed as they pertain to the children. This book devotes too much time to guilting women back into the kitchen, IMHO. While this is a fine choice for some, there are many modern families that this doesn’t work for, for whatever reason.
If you’re looking for a book with step-families, blended families, multi-cultural families, same-sex parents, stay-at-home-Dad’s, extended families, dual-income families, or any other perfectly valid variation on Ward and June, look elsewhere. You won’t find any of those in this book. You *will* find them in many parts of America.

Raising not one but TWO strong-willed children meant that I needed all the help I could get. But that help was on hand in the shape of this excellent manual from Rex “Meaty” Forehand. First rate.

We recommend this book frequently in our parent training program. Lots of good practical advice. Techniques are based on Applied Behavior Analysis.
