Great parenting tips: I resonated with this parenting style. It seems like the authors are addressing to an (white) American audience but the tips are useful to all, regardless of background. I liked the tips, but I didn't like hearing the comparisons to American parenting styles all the time.

Easy read/listen, great parenting tips

A good book and I learnt a lot from it, the only critics I have is too much focus on the problems with American parents and culture.

Good
