Critics Review
‘This practical and down-to-earth book, with its far-reaching insight, wisdom, research, and wealth of experience, is a literal gold mine for any parent or caregiver trying to traverse the somewhat treacherous waters of parenthood. Overlook this book at your peril because its pages contain the gold nuggets of how to achieve effective parenting for your children.’
Dr. Darryl Cross, Clinical and Organizational Psychologist, & Author of ‘Growing Up Children’
‘This is the book I wish I had before I first became a parent - one that places significant value in the role of parents and gives constructive advice on how to transition into the role. In a society where education, support, and awareness for parents are sorely lacking, this book is more important than ever.’Virginia Tapscott, Mother, Writer & Director of Parents Work Collective
