      Library Journal

      Family therapist, lawyer, and mother Rolfe here presents seven rules for building good relationships between parents and kids: listening, faith, modeling, expression, celebration, attention, and letting go. Her advice is both basic and thoughtful, advocating giving your child fresh air and fresh food, spending quality time together even while doing ordinary adult things, and celebrating small occasions royally. Above all, Rolfe advocates faithnever giving up on your child. Based on a mix of case histories from her practice, her own experience, and research results, this is a very good guide to basic, commonsense child rearing. Highly recommended.Linda Beck, Indian Valley P.L., Telford, Pa.
