CRASH COURSE ON SUCCESSFUL PARENTING 13 Dynamics of Raising Great Kids

Jon Gauger's upbeat reading delivers the energy needed to keep this crash course moving. Too many ideas are condensed without being brought together by a memorable theme or set of principles, and the result is choppy and disengaging. Gauger's pace and pleasing voice are a much needed constant. Many of the sentences and paragraphs offer familiar advice and, by themselves, these passages make great sense. But to create a four-hour audio that listeners can use, these segments need to present an integrated idea they can connect with. What is offered instead amounts to a series of discreet points with no conceptual glue. T.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2008]
