Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say!: Saving Your Child from a Troubled World Paperback – October 5, 2004

Love her style. Bought for my daughter and granddaughter

One day I walked into my house and found a note from my nine-year old daughter accusing me of not having done anything with her during Summer. I was shocked because I thought we had done a lot of things together. When I sat down with her, she admitted that we did a lot of things together but she was talking about activities where it was just herself and me. I realised that I was probably missing out on something and I began thinking seriously on how I could become a better mother. By the grace of God, one day I was watching Judge Hattchett Show on TV and a commercial about this book came up. I immediately ordered it and I must say for the first time, I finished a self-help book in less than two days.The book is about how Judge Glenda Hatchett has raised her own sons, as well as how she has adjudicated in different cases involving juveniles.It contains invaluable lessons about raising kids and how we can avoid becoming a mother/father of a juvenile delinquent. The bottom line is that bad things happen to good kids and no matter how much we give to our kids or we do for them in monetary terms, if we dont give them love and attention, they can end up on the front page of a local newspaper. I loved the book and I would definately recommend it for parents, parents to-be and even people who work and take care of other people's kids.

I do not have children, but my friends do. I watch her show on TV, and have been impressed with her. I have observed one of the things my friends do with their children that I always thought was a mistake was a lack on consistency. My friends that I thought were good parents had to make hard choices and decisions with their kids. Judge Hatchett gives examples that show just what I have observed over the years. It is clear and to the point. You always hear that there isn't an owners manual for child rearing. This is a good place to start.

A VERY NICE BOOK TO READ, THAT WILL HELP COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR KIDS...AS THEY FACE LIFE CHALLENGES.

Sound advice. Very helpful tidbits. It really is a must read. Demonstrates the heart of today's parent. Offers hope with troublingsituations.
