Great perspective on connecting with your child submitted by Jessamynrm on July 8, 2014, 7:42pm This book is a how-to manual for connecting with your child in a healthy, proactive way. Some of the case studies illustrate how 'roughhousing' has helped seriously anxious or disturbed children (and their parents) work through that anxiety or their negative history. In general, though, the book provides great guidance for learning creative and enjoyable ways to teach your child how to recognize his or her own limits, respect boundaries, and problem solve with you as a guide.

Not very helpful submitted by raymondkangasjr on August 24, 2014, 8:32pm This book is helpful for new parents or soon to be. I misunderstood what the book was about prior to requesting it.
