I was surprised to find this book so short. I seems to be a condensed version of a longer book, that I wish I had bought instead.

very short version

Don't think this book is incomplete because it lasts only one hour! The theory is easily explained as a case studio. I used the techniques the very same day I heard it. Now I am listening a second time, and my wife is too.

Great condensed content and cases, it seemed my own story!

This book amazed me with more better ways of wording everything better I already do most of the stuff they said in the book with my 2 yr old daughter and it works so much better this book taught me more ways of expressing my feelings towards how my daughter acts and explaining why it makes me feel the way I feel at that moment 10/10 recommend
