Parenting Hero

I read the app author’s book How to Talk so Little Kids Will Listen. There is a lot to take in and remember… so this app is really helpful to refresh my memory and have easy examples to reinforce what I read. I will revisit this app often to keep things moving in the right direction at home. The approach these authors take works so well with our daughters! And I like to think we are setting them up to be problem solvers and motivated for the right reasons by speaking to them this way.

I finished reading the VERY LIMITED tips within 5-10 minutes of downloading the app. Also, these tips are already in the book. Shame on this developer. No better than a common thief.

This should have 5 stars. I got the book but haven’t been able to read past chapter 1. Chapter 1 helped me a lot so I want the rest of the techniques to use when I need them. Listening to podcasts and YouTube videos fits better with my busy day. This app is along those lines. I get to see all the important info right away and start using it while I get a chance to finish the book. I’m also waiting for my spouse to catch up on chapter 1, so this app has been incredibly useful.

I should have read all the reviews...such a waste of money. This app is very weak in content!

I was completely unsatisfied with the app for the price. I was not sure what to expect, but it was definitely more than the app offered. I only rated it one star because rating no stars is not an option.

Use it to reflect and handle things better next time. There's always a next time!

This app is a great learning tool to get you started in understanding and applying the communication tools the authors present in their book, “How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen.” To get the most out of the app, you should go through each response in all of the different scenarios - and the responses that you know are not the “right” ones will actually probably give you the most insight as the authors carefully crafted responses to show how some of our knee-jerk reactions to what kids do can have the opposite or negative effects towards our goal. Seeing the animations and actual dialogue really help me think how I can apply these tools with my own kids.

I expected a lot more for the price. I think the creators should have spent their time and energy adding more content versus creating animations that dumb down the subject matter (probably not the right format for an adult audience). There are 15 scenarios. Not all applied to me, so the number of useful ones are even less. The animations make it time consuming.

Very disappointed in this app. For $4.99, I got fifteen scenarios which I was able to go through in less than ten minutes. Each one ended with a plug for the book. I feel as though I’ve been charged to watch an advertisement. Easily the lowest value app I’ve ever purchased.

Love the examples. Hope they keep adding new ones to the app.
