Query: Too much talking, Not enough action

I am in the process of listening to this book on CD. The first four chapters are so boring that I find my mind wandering off thinking of other things. By chapter 5 it gets a little better, but but not much. The 1 star reviews are right on in that there is no "HOW" in this book... just lots of blah, blah, blah. The author tells a long story about how he disciplined her daughter for walking on the outside of an indoor staircase in the living room. He took her down and calmly told her that was off limits. But did she ever do it again? Did she do it when her mother was home and her father was out? Then he explains that he found his two year old son at the stop of the steps on the outside of the railing, six feet above the living room floor. He calmly removed him. But that's it.... I'm waiting and wondering how he disciplined him. Did the 2 year old ever do it again.
