There is a troubling trend emerging among some of the โhomeschool crowd.โ Their children are discontent and rebellious, jumping ship as soon as they think they can survive without the familyโsome as young as sixteen years old. Michael Pearl addressed this issue in a series of NGJ magazine articles in 2006. These have now been compiled into this book and DVD presentation, along with new material and an additional two chapters covering further issues.

This book is so very helpful, I can’t recommend it enough! People just don’t seem to get the importance of smiling at their kids, listening to them, walking alongside them. I think this is the most important parenting book the Pearls have written and needs to be read as a refresher as often as you start having a bad attitude about parenting or a bad attitude towards your kids.

This has been my favorite parenting book so far. It addressed my concerns directly and the suggestions made perfect sense. I finished reading it feeling uplifted and like, “I can do this.”
I liked it so well I promptly lent it out and need a new copy!
