Ratings and reviews

this is the most unrealistic book i have ever heard.. i do not understand how this could create a relationship between parent and child. a common conception about relationships is that trust holds them together. How can a relationship be built if no trust exists and that fact is demonstrated subtly. This book encourages the parents to frequently search through their child's belongings and check up on them frequently. Maybe in the -most extreme- cases is a book like this neccisary but parents need to be able to distinguishe where to draw the line at calling someone an out of control adalesent. A person who trusts no one can't be trusted. [info][add][mail] Jerome Blattner - More quotations on: [Trust] The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him.
