### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good book for the average family but doesn't account for attachment or emotional issues
  

*by C***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2019*

I received an advanced copy of this book for review.There are a lot of nice things about this book.  The writing style is easy and conversational.  There are plentiful examples and stories to keep you engaged and interested.  There are plenty of educational facts to draw on and apply in your life.  Before becoming an adoptive family,  we were encouraged to examine not only our own familial upbringing and how it influenced our personality, but also our planned and current parenting.  How to see our impact on our children and how our behavior influences them.  All the things targeted to adoptive parents before becoming parents are contained in this book and directed to normal, average families.  And the result for a normal, average family should be spectacular if you take the lessons to heart and actively apply them.  I have experienced that success myself for the last 12 years.HOWEVERThere is no accommodation in this book for those children who have attachment issues.  The information within is presented as A + B = C always, and ALL children will respond well to these approaches when that simply is not the case.  A child with Reactive Attachment Disorder or Oppositional Defiance Disorder will chew this up and spit it out without blinking an eye.  No, NOT every child is looking at their parent with loving eyes -- some of these children have a Mommy hole that is so broken into bits that normal parenting approaches just cause them to feel less secure and more destructive.Yes, these approaches work wonderfully with my attached children, and I would encourage any parent with a fairly normal family that wants to take it up a notch to give this a spin.  As a dutiful parent I don't read the book and say, "Yay, I knew/do that" but actually "Yay!  Am I doing that enough or as well as I can be?"  I realize this book is not targeted to parents of children with deep behavioral issues but as a parent dealing with daily, serious, destructive behavioral challenges, my fear is that a parent in my shoes would read this book and feel even more guilt and responsibility than already heaped on them by society.  I understand that silver bullets are needed to sell books but a simple nod to the fact that children are not all the same would have been appropriate and appreciated.
