Title: A weak offering - there are much better books
Product review: This book has some snippets of good advice, so I had to at least give it 2 stars.I can't give it any more than that, though, because the material is pretty weak. Basically, one of the authors runs classes to teach parents how to better communicate with their children (though is apparently not a degreed counselor). The other author is a writer who decided that these techniques could also be useful in dealing with an uncooperative ex.I can't say they're completely wrong about this - after all, good communication comes in handy anywhere. But this makes for a very shaky premise. There's no research behind it, and they don't even bring any clinical experience with using these techniques in this situation!(Plus, don't let your kids see the title. I threw the book out, considering that there was very little value compared to the risk that the kids would see it.)For a sound book on the same topic, try "Mom's House, Dad's House" by Isolina Ricci.
