 Disturbing, 2007-10-16
I thought this book had some good ideas and thoughts in the beginning of the book. However, as I read on, I became more disgusted. He tragically takes apart religion. Religion is needed even in todays day and age. I wouldn't even let my dog read this junk.
He tells you to go and rip apart your parents. I am sorry, some people could not handle that. If I were to approach my mother with such disrespect, I would EXPECT the doorto be slammed in my face, and justifiably so. People that follow his ideas, really need to think about the way that they would want to be treated. If you did your best, would you want your child coming back to you telling you about all the things you did wrong? We work with what we are given in the world. I threw the book out. What a waste.

 From Dr. Spock to Dr. Blanton, 2003-02-11
Combining the best of the fields of psychology, psychotherapy and sociology, with a great love of children and their potential, Brad Blanton makes an impassioned plea for creating a world where children can grow and flourish. Radical Parenting isn't as radical as it is useful for all of us, regardless of how young or old our children and our friends' children might be. From Dr. Spock to Brad Blanton, a parent would do well to follow their sage advice.

I WIsh I Had Read This Book When My Kids Were Little, 2003-01-28
Unfortunately, no books like Radical Parenting were available when I was raising kids, or I would have been a better parent. Oh sure, I THOUGHT I was a good parent. And, if you think you're a good parent, then you need to read this book, too. Because all parents abuse their children in one way or another. But, the worst kind of abuse is often the abuse that you aren't even aware of. This newest book by Dr. Brad Blanton gets REAL about the major sins we commit as parents using our children as the victims. It tells how we fail to maximize the opportunities for our kids to grow and develop into creators and become happy people. It shows the way to raising radically better kids by focusing first on our own growth and inner development. This book points out the traps and barriers set up for parents by our culture, our politics, our religion and, of course, the mind. It tells what makes people happy and what makes them be in love and become loving people. It reveals how children and grown-up's achieve satisfaction and fulfillment in life. There are wet marks on the pages where I learned some of the dumb things I did. I understand myself better as a result of this book. And, I also know better how to learn from children. Thanks, Dr. B. for this GREAT BOOK!
