The Dolphin Way: A Parent's Guide to Raising Healthy, Happy, and Motivated Kids - without Turning into a Tiger

I just needed someone to finally say what i knew deep inside and this book did that. i have heard the concepts of play, needing a village to raise a child, and finding balance but i think it way there were presented in this book that changed me. the author walks you through a 4 step model to motivate the parent towards acting on our intuition. it left me feeling more empowered and inspired to make my life and my parenting less complicated. a quick easy read, i think anyone working kids would really benefit from this book!

Great book! It has a lot of good themes and advice in it. Some of it is common sense, but always good to bring it back to the surface so you can act consciously with your children and make the best decisions for them. Love it :)

Very good. Many good insights and questions about parenting. Could be improved by providing more data and scientific basis for The opinions.

Fantastic book. A great read for any parent. Very relevant advice for parents in the 21st Century, where over-scheduling has become the norm

great reading for parents. wish I had read it sooner!

This book looks like I have manuscript for editing and paying for that but for a parent it is boring the way it is written.

Love parenting books and this one is very good.

Amazing book!

Great book

Not only does this book have great insight into how to help me guide my children to their personal best, but I find a lot of the information applies to my own personal relationships and work environment. It has helped me really bring my own life into balance and enrich many of my personal relationships.Overall the mix of science and the amazing personal story of the author really keeps the book engaging and interesting.Have recommended to all my friends and will recommend to you now!

I have 3 grown children, and parenting styles still interest me so I ordered the book. Yet, even outside of parenting, this book is so relevant to the changing society in which we live. I have referred to the information that is revealed in this book, almost daily since finishing one week ago. This book is NOT just for those with youngsters. In fact, there is so much great information about opening possibilities to bettering relationships, I am surprised it is deemed "A Parent's Guide". Bravo Doctor Kang!

This is an excellent read if you want to adopt a parenting style that raises “healthy, happy, and self-motivated kids” (as the subtitle says). Its main principle is about moving away from “tiger parenting” (i.e controlling everything and ruining your kids lives!) to a more intuitive ‘dolphin’ style parenting of guiding over directing, supporting over imposing etc. I started implementing some of her “prescriptions” (better parenting suggestions) and I can see a difference in my kids already.

Still have not finished this book (half way). Kind of explained its not an interesting book to read. There are some interesting aspects but overall it’s more like a research paper which I fall sleep reading lol
