How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? Why do I feel guilty when I consider setting boundaries?

Not what I would recommend as a therapist who works primarily with children
Very much based in outdated religious views of family structure and discipline. I will not be recommending this book to clients as I feel some of the information is harmful to loving parenting practices.

Great concepts, voice is distracting
I feel like the concepts are very helpful but the narrator’s voice is robotic, fast, and distracting. Slowing the tempo down makes it almost as distracting and I can’t focus on the content. I’ll be eventually buying the physical book.

Great Biblical references. On Point!
I am so appreciative of Cloud's stance, taken directly from the Bible. It's a really helpful book. Cloud does a great job of not only addressing a great deal of parental struggles, but also states ways to address them. Although painful, he presents the view that at least some of the challenges arise as a result of parents themselves lacking boundaries. I will listen to this audio book again and purchase the written version as well to have on hand for reference.

Imperative
As an adult who has struggled with boundaries all my life, and recognizing that many others do as well, I think this book is imperative for parents and grandparents to read and stop the cycle of poor or no boundaries. When I decided to become a parent, I knew I wanted to follow a lot of these concepts, and this book provides a road map for that.

I realized I was setting boundaries for my kids but giving them three chances before I took action and was not consign following through. Now I have a renewed approach where spanking (which I did minimally) will be delayed as I use these new tools. Thank you the authors.

Great book on parenting and boundaries
I was drawn to this book because I have a 5 year old whose behaviour has become somewhat difficult (okay, *really* difficult). Some of his behaviours are developmentally normal for 4/5 year olds but nonetheless seriously challenging - hence my purchase of this book.
What I really like about this book is that the authors give clear explanations, clear examples and explain how to generalise these skills with other challenging behaviours. The skills taught can be applied to a child of any age - probably from about 3 or 4 and older. I also like that the book asks the reader to reflect on their own behaviour and own sense of boundaries as we don’t live in a vacuum. Before I’d even finished the book I found myself putting boundaries in place both with myself and my son. Much to my surprise, I actually started to see some change - so, to the authors: thank you.
Although I didn’t realise this when I purchased the book, I do like that the authors wrote from a religious perspective and included God, rather than a wholly secular point of view. There was a lot of referencing the Bible (especially New Testament verses) but it was relevant and not ‘preachy’.
This book is definitely more ‘tough love’ but with a sprinkle of empathy. It’s definitely not an advocate for helicopter parenting, tiger parenting or attachment parenting.
The narrator is also easy to listen to and engaging - a real bonus.
A few things I didn’t like about the book: firstly, the referencing on at least two occasions to spanking/hiding. Say no more. Secondly, the fact that sometimes childhood behaviours are related to trauma and other underlying clinical issues were not mentioned until about half way through the book. As a psychologist I already knew this, but it might not be so clear to those outside the profession. I think this should’ve been mentioned at the beginning too as a caveat. Lastly, I found the last chapter which briefly talks about single parents to be almost shaming. Yes, it was God’s plan that children be raised in two parent households, but being an imperfect world, it’s not always the way due to death, violence, abuse or abandonment. A single validating and empathic sentence like that would’ve changed the tone of that section.
Overall, I would recommend this book. It’s made me look at myself as well as looking at different ways to interpret my son’s developmentally appropriate behaviour (and recognise what might not be developmentally appropriate and related to his trauma and I need to approach it differently). It’s given me confidence to parent with boundaries and a lot of empathy. Recommended!
