Ratings and reviews

I think it's a great book. If I don't read it daily, I'm not successful in my no yelling. I just started though. I love that it's written by a real mom not a dr... it has great ideas that you can turn into your own for the way you wanna run your household and raise your children.

I can not say enough good things about this! Thank you for writing this book and thank you for the Orange Rhino blog!

Happy with the book, informative and the challenge is helpful.
