The Best For ALL Families

This is the best book I have read on raising a family.If you just see the basics here you will find it very rewarding. I wish I had this book when we were raising our children.But I do Highly recommend it for ALL families.I will certainly pass this one one to my children. Thank You Dr.Phil!!

Some sound advice, but self-promoting

Dr. Phil's Family First offers up some sound, basic advice for making family a priority, but ends up offering more promises and self-promotion than providing solid help.

With our 30-year career working with parents and children, we feel confident recommending some alternative books as better alternatives: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families by Stephen R. Covey, Positive Discipline by Jane Nelson, and Raising Self-Reliant Children in a Self-Indulgent World by Stephen Glenn & Jane Nelson.These books provide consistent advice, that works in any situation, for anyone seeking a set of guiding principles for parenting. They fully support parents in understanding the theory behind the actions that help children become capable, caring and responsible adults.

Dr Phil is the Best

I have been watching Dr. Phil since back in the day. I love his new book. All parents should be required to read this very wise book.
