Raise Your Kids Right The First Time Around by Martha Stevens is a practical guide to parenting which is based on one person's experiences in raising 5 children successfully while being divorced. And she hits the right spots so accurately that you have to hand it over to her. It is a straight from the heart method that strikes a chord immediately. She gets inside of what it means to empathise with your child and has almost a spiritual approach to dealing with your child.

She lays stress on two foundation stones for success:

one is educating the heart both of the parent and the childand
the other is centered around WORK and how to develop a strong work ethic in your child

that which will stand him in good stead all his life. Martha's is the mommy's tips you cannot do without and she has tested them out herself on bunches of young students who could relate to her perfectly. Your children too would.

Curb Your Kid by Greg Evans is for those of you parents who are especially burdened with extremely unruly kids. Ofcourse if you are not yet troubled badly by your kids running amok all over your house and your life, even then you can benefit by reading the various modules of this ebook by learning to prevent the occurrence of such problems in the future. This ebook provides targeted content on each of the troublesome issues facing a parent e.g. a child lying | stealing | fighting | abusing | cheating | throwing tantrums | being anti-social etc etc

Besides Greg Evans, adds immense value to his offering by throwing in plenty many additional bonus that you must check out here
Crack the following problems with focused and effective strategies for each

lying
stealing
biting, thumb sucking
bullying
shoplifting
daredevilry
teenager not listening
teen becoming 'adult' too fast
handle peer pressure
control internet exposure
depression and substance abuse

Each of the above problems are dealt with firm and effective strategies and a plan of action that are sure to succeed
...........................................................................................
The four books are focused on slightly different approaches in dealing with your child and the differences are as follows:

"Raise Your Kids Right The First Time Around" by Martha Stevens focuses on teaching the heart and how to focus on cultivating the 'work ethic' in the child.

"The Good Child Guide" is written by Dr Noel Swanson who is in the business of treating difficult children and helping their parents. And thus, his ebook is full of techniques clinically proven to succeed and is a scientific approach to the behavioural aspects of the parent-child and their relationships with each other and the outer world.

"Rock Solid Kids " approaches the same set of problems regarding difficult children from the perspectives emanating from an ancient school of thought embedded in the teaching of Karate. Keith Hafner has a very successful Karate school and Karate is as much a martial art as it is a mental disciplining system. It completely goes to the credit of Keith that he has been able to distil the learnings inherent in an ancient discipline for the benefit of building up solid character in children. It is a long term view and to my mind is the BEST of the three ebooks being reviewed here. Most Eastern disciplines being holistic in nature, Keith focuses on the child's overall development giving him a rock-solid basis to lead his/her life and helping her root out the negative influences that impinge on the child in today's world

"Curb Your Kid " is for the parent of an extremely unruly child or one who is afraid that her child could end up being unruly and unmanageable due to the influences that today's world thrusts upon unsuspecting children.
...............................................................................................
Those of you who'd rather depend on clinically proven systems would probably like to go with Dr Noel Swanson in his Good Child Guide.

And last but by no means the least, Martha's recipe does have immense value and that she has singlehandedly raised 5 successful children is itself a great tribute and testimony to the pearls of wisdom embedded in her exquisite ebook, Raise Your Kids Right the First Time Around. She also has a free ebook for you to sample.

The choice finally is yours.

Remember that there are a lot of resources on the web but the value for money that the above ebooks provide is immense. Try them out now. The time wasted in trying to figure out how to manage the exploding emotional tribulations of your child is definitely worth the few dollars you would pay for the invaluable and time-tested methods that would start working wonders for you in no time.
