The basis of this book is a survey of 500 active LDS members nationwide, who were asked 'What mistakes do you feel your parents made when you were growing up in their home'. Kind of a depressing premise, but what I really liked about this book was that he gives specific steps that can be taken to prevent / remedy these mistakes. Some of these topics are geared more for teenagers and pre-teens, so I'd love to have a copy of this book to reread later. I thought it was so interesting and helpful to see specific parenting actions that may not seem like a big deal, but have lasting consequences on a child's life. Tbis book is broken down into easy-to-read chapters by topic. I was amazed at the statistics he included and appreciated all of the real life experiences he shared to illustrate practical applications. I was happy to know I am more on the ball as an LDS parent than not as far as the book is concerned. But I was also grateful for the way my eyes were opened to likely scenarios we have yet to encounter with our children when they reach future milestones and ages.
this book had some really good advice, i would recommend this to anyone that has kids!
