Buy the Book for Cheap!
Category:
I've read about Love and Logic, Power of Positive Parenting and other books that were ok, but not memorable. You know how I feel about L and L, too confusing, too inconsistent, creates too many power struggles. P of PP I loved and recomend to help you get in a good frame of mind, but I didn't walk away from that empowered with the tools/skills to follow through with my new vision of the P of PP. I'm all pumped up to parent with positiveness, but what does that look like, how does is sound, how does it really play out in the heat of the moment when my first reaction is to spank, yell or lecture inappropriately like how I was raised.......YOUR book tells how (the 4 basic skills, the SODAS and role playing and thinking of 'time out' or 'grounded' differently making better use of that time, the family government!!! Ah, freedom from anger and frustration, freedom from bad parenting behaviors.......!)
Excited to read your book
Hi Nicholeen,
I am a single mom of two little girls who are my life, and all I long for is for them to be emotionally and spiritually healthy on top of being physically healthy.
I heard about Teaching Self Government and your background with foster children, and I was super impressed. I have a couple friends here who have implemented your parenting style in their homes and have had great success. You also came down and did an all day course for both of them. I borrowed the cd's to listen to and loved loved them, but I was on information overload. I saw Andee Martineau today, and she recommended getting your book (as I love to hi-light and review.) I have tried so so many parenting plans and found good in each of them, but I have seen success in yours. I am so excited to get started on your book, and I have your website saved at the top of my computer screen, so I can keep up-to-date on it. I look forward to gaining more knowledge and implementing it in my home. Have a great day, and thank you for sharing your love of your kids and techniques with all of us. Sonia
Thank you
Sonia,
It sounds like you are the kind of mother I am. You want only the best for your children and look for all the help you can find. I wish you could have been in on the Arizona seminar. It was so much fun! I hope you enjoy the book and find the principles your family needs to group happy and communicate effectively.
Thanks so much for your comment!
