Great book for a great start!

"Great book to start parent kid relations off to a good start. It happens early that they develop their personalities!"

Melissa (5/5)

Helpful for tired parents

"Very helpful for tired parents, it has all the information you need to reframe how your phrase things to your kids. The best are all the scenarios of various parents and how it can be adapted differently so the kids listen (and you too). Loved also the cartoon recalls for a quick refresher. We've already seen an immense difference in our household dynamic."

V. T. (5/5)

Great read!

"So many good tools and nuggets to help how I speak to my 5 year old. We even printed off some ideas that we have taped up around the house. Especially love the section about how to praise a child properly."

M. A. (5/5)

Game changer

"I had heard from multiple people that this book was a game changer. With a, as my daycare called, a strong willed 2. 5 yr old who was testing every boundry I was ready to try something new. There are so many tools so parents are sure to find something that works. Our house has gotten a lot sillier and tantrums are down from multiple a day to just resistance that we can lovingly work with. This book is easy to read, made me laugh and is making me a happier parent."

With practical suggestions and useful illustrations, the authors clearly convey these important steps to guiding our children's development. Cultivating such mindsight for our youth is essential to creating a kinder and more resilient next generation."--Daniel J.
