I am 3/4 done the book and have already started to see improvement in how my relationships are going with my 2 teen daughters and myself!!! Love it and it is very practical. Not to say I haven't had a few very tired moments when I blew my stack and raised my voice but overall we are doing so much better. I am making more time after school to be with the girls--supervise and engage!! I'm saying much less and saying in more kindly.
