Rating  (5)
Date: 2008-01-05
Positive Options for Children with Asthma: Everything Parents Need to Know is a no-nonsense guide written especially for parents and caretakers of children who suffer from asthma, including severe asthma attacks. Written by asthma expert O.P. Jaggi, Positive Options for Children with Asthma discusses how to create an allergen-free environment, how to pre-empt attacks or lower their intensity, teaching a child about asthma medication and how to use it safely, enhancing a child's immunity and tolerance to allergens, teaching a child effective "belly breathing" technique, helping a child incorporate physical activity into their lives while successfully coping with exercise-induced asthma, and much more. An easy-to-use, absolute "must-have" for anyone responsible for an asthmatic child, and also a very practical guide for asthmatics of any age seeking to learn more about their condition and what to do about it.

Insightful, amazing book! Well worth reading.

I read this book after my son, who was 4 at the time, with an older cousin, killed a duck of ours (not maliciously, just played way too roughly with it). You won't hear his wisdom or common sense from any other authors. If you are looking for psychobabble, look elsewhere. If you think children should be coddled and babied all the way into adulthood (like "everyone else" seems to be doing now), then this isn't for you. If you think children need to be ridiculously praised for every move they make, you should really read this book - it debunks that notion, and turns most other conventional parenting practices of today upside down. Just look at your neighbors and the classmates of your children, who are likely helpless, disrespectful, often overweight, addicted to tv and video games, etc. I don't want my kids to be like that, so John Rosemond has shown me the better way, which is actually the way I was parented, without even realizing it.
The book was a fascinating read, and I went through it quickly. At that point the only other book of his I had read was Making the Terrible Twos Terrific, and while it is the same general philosophies, there was much new wisdom in this book, particularly for older children. I loaned it to my sister who also enjoyed it.
When visiting a friend in another state, who had a girl my son's age, she was so violent that we finally left after an hour. She actually flipped a glider rocker chair that my son was sitting in over and on top of him. I later sent this book to my friend, hoping she wouldn't be offended. She read it and told me it was very useful and helped her realize what she was doing wrong with her kids, and immediately upon putting his wisdom in practice she saw improvement, and began working on being a leader/parent, instead of a slave to her kids.

This book is excellent as most of Dr. Rosemond's book are. I enjoyed the easy read nature of the book.
He gives specific ways to help your child get rid of bad behavior. This was very helpful to me. My daughter has improved behavior because of his suggestions.
I highly recommend this book along with all others by Dr. John Rosemond.

A Long Column
Rating  (2)

22 out of 23 customers found this reveiw helpful
The mother of a 4 year old boy and infant daughter concerned about the level of violence in television programs and toys directed toward children, I bought Rosemond's "Raising a Nonviolent Child" to learn how to lessen the impact of such violence on my kids. Rosemond's book is written in an easy-to-read manner, but ends up long on chat (like an overly long column) and short on cites. Nevertheless, Rosemond's opinion on methods of parenting and discipline, as he has shown in other successful books like Parent Power, is worth something standing alone. An emphatic reminder that we, as parents, are the first line of defense against the violence marketed to children, Rosemond's book does a nice job discussing the importance of teaching children personal, task and social responsibility. His ideas regarding limitations to be set on video games, computer use and television are also quite helpful. One need be neither Judeo-Christian nor an arch conservative to see the value of some of Rosemond's views on parenting however, and it would have been nice not to have to wade through Rosemond's rather strident (and often offensively presented)political beliefs and his personal religious beliefs to get to his larger point regarding the benefits of authoritative, as opposed to authoritarian or permissive parenting. I would recommend people buy Parent Power, which covers much of the same ground and is available in paperback -- and skip this latest book which doesn't add much that is new to Rosemond's previous body of work.

life experience *is* data
Rating  (4)
Date: 2000-12-05
1 out of 18 customers found this reveiw helpful
"Data" is only as good as its control group or collector. Life experience *is* data, and as a parent, you will offer what *works for you* to other parents. Like Mr. Rosemond, I usually offer "personal perspectives" in the first person, not because I'm so self-centered that I think my own experience is all that matters, but because it's *my* perspective, from my own experiences. I can't project how a person will handle any given situation, and as long as *I'm* separate from *you*, we'll never have identical perspectives. We will, however, have similar experiences from time to time. Just as something someone has said to me will help me wade through my own muddle, I hope that others can draw on my ponderings when they need it. As for parenting books in general, I read them for guidelines, evaluate those guidelines and use them as I see fit. Although not all of us are biological parents, we are almost always entrusted with *someone's* children at *some* point in our lives, and I do recommend Rosemond's book for preparing for such times. His suggestions for re-empowering the mothers provide tools for setting and maintaining our own personal boundaries among "children" of all ages.

This latest in a series of books by Mr.Rosemond is a bit disappointing, especially for long-time readers of his other books and columns. I find the re-run anecdotes and columns tedious, the writing a tad sophomoric. The anecdote of his "call of nature" in an Alabama school restroom was just one example, and one I would have liked to have been spared.The topic of kids and violence is certainly one on the minds of most parents. And it is an easy read, and entertaining. I would have liked to have seen less personal anecdotes and more of the real research and studies that are out there; that he seemed to gloss over, in favor of levity. The book does contain useful information, especially towards the end. I had the thought that if he BEGAN again, with the ending of this book to begin a new one and fleshed it out a bit more, it would have more of an impact. This is a good basic book, but I would have liked it to have been a bit more scholarly.

Deeply moving,inspirational,transformative & practical

This book is deeply insightful, moving and practical with regard to clarifying what one believes about life's most essential issues, and incorporating these beliefs into day to day parenting. Our 13 year old cat died very recently after a quick downhill decline from kidney failure. I am so grateful for this book's encouragement to determine what values we want to express and transmit, including ones as important as dealing with death (an example stands out to me involving two sisters and their children). This book gave us a great deal of insight and courage to be very open about what transpired as the cat declined, and to successfully encourage our four year old daughter to take lots of time to actively nurture the cat in his illness, knowing how important it was to make him feel comfortable and loved and to say good-bye. She continues to openly process our cat's death, her feelings about it, and many aspects of death without hesitation. This is not how I was raised. I lost my father in childhood and nobody talked about it. They were grateful if I did not bring it up so I remained silent, to their great relief. I continued this family value and practice through the early parenting of my own much older children. But this book has now encouraged us to be deliberate in developing a positive, shared way of handling the situation with our youngest child. I know this is only one event in which I (and I'm sure many others) will be deeply affected by this book.

Our 13 year old cat died today after a quick downhill slide from kidney failure. I am grateful for your book's encouragement to determine what values we want to express and transmit such as with regard to death (an example stands out to me involving two sisters and their children). We have been very open about what is going on and have had a four year old take lots of time to nurture the cat in his illness, knowing how important it was to make him feel comfortable and loved and to say good-bye. This is not how I was raised. I lost my father in childhood and nobody talked about it; they were grateful if I did not bring it up. Your book encouraged us to be deliberate and to develop a shared way of handling the situation with our daughter. I am sure this is only one event in which I'll be affected by your work, and I'm sure I'm only one of many who will be deeply affected.
