Review:
"Three authors--a psychotherapist, a pediatric psychologist, and a neuropsychological educator who are all parents--have compiled a guide that bamboozled moms and dads will welcome. This volume, which is based on a three-year study--the largest study of family routines ever conducted--is chock-full of examples from real families sorting through tough parenting decisions and provides valuable counsel."
--Publishers Weekly "As kids rely more and more on digital forms of communication, their verbal skills are eroding. If you are raising kids, this book is an essential tool."
--Bill McGowan, author of Pitch Perfect: How to Say it Right the First Time, Every Time "This book presents one of the most important and innovative approaches to parenting and habit formation I've seen in years. It's a must-read for parents and educators."
--S. Richard Sauber, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief, The American Journal of Family Therapy "Wonderful book. The synthesis of case studies, interviews and impeccable research makes this a great read and a helpful and user-friendly manual for parents."
