A good video!
This is a great video for parents, especially Christian parents, who want guidance on how and when to discipline their children. My only complaint is that there is no referenced scripture in the video. If you are looking for a DVD for a Bible study group, this DVD does not directly use scripture. HOWEVER, all the advice in the DVD is obviously based on scripture. It would be better for a discussion group as opposed to a scriptural study group. It would be fantastic as supplement to a bible based study for parents.The advice is timeless and it guides parents through the stages of their children's developmental stages. You would not discipline a 2 year old the same way as you would a junior high aged child. It has funny cartoons which are great visual aides, but most of the DVD is Dr. Dobson talking in his study. He's engaging, easy to listen too and he's an expert on discipline. You won't regret buying this.

Help with discipline.
Dr. Dobson always does a great job. I must say this series is different than what I expected. I wanted to get my hands on some of Dobsons' earlier seminars on child discipline, to be used for a church Sunday school class. My husband and I viewed his film series on this issue back in the eighties, when we were starting our family. Since it was so helpful to us, I thought it would be great for the new parents at church. This new series gives information using animation, which is a unique approach, however I must confess I miss Dobson's stories and light humor from his earlier work.

Just what busy parents need!
We loved this study! We used this study in our Sunday School class at church. We used the workbooks and the DVDs. It was a wonderful series that encompassed parenting birth through teenagers. It gave us the practical information we needed right at our fingertips without having to read an entire book. Dr. Dobson has written some amazing books on the topic and he gives you the best of all of them right in one place. Some of the intro cartoons are hokey, but he made us laugh. It prompted great group and couple discussions. The completed workbook will be something we refer to for years to come. Every parent should have this information- this world would be a better place and our children would become much better adults.

child discipline video series
This is great. It is done clear, short and to-the-point. This is a good way to gather some basic biblical parenting you can apply right away. It is in segments so they aren't too long at one sitting and can easily be fit in to your day here and there if you dont have time to watch much television. Wish I had this several years ago.

Great Series
We are using this video for a small group study in our home. We are enjoying the material and what is has to say. The video is humorous and informative. It is definitely recommended to have the accompanying leader guide and all families to have participants guide.

My husband and I purchased this since we have a toddler and want to work on parenting. It's definitely outdated but you can learn something from the lessons.

Disappointment
Not what I expected..at all! There is a lot of religious references which is not appropriate for non profit organizations. It also recommends "spanking" which is not something we condone.
