Tiptoeing on plagiarism… Would have received five stars if it didnât seem like about half of the content was nearly plagiarized from Ronald Greerâs âNow That They Are Grown.â The information is great but it really bothered me to feel like I was reading another manâs version of virtually the same content (including a specific movie reference) for a good part of the book. If I hadnât read Greerâs book first, I would have loved every bit of it without thinking twice. Helpful content, but it would have been much more…
Excellent read! Great read dealing with my adult children. But also great being an adult child and thinking of my own parents and my own faults along the way
Never too late to improve your relationship! A very valuable resource for parents no matter how old your adult child! Iâm sorry I did not have the opportunity to read it after my oldest son graduated from High School. It would have helped our relationship in so many ways!
