Learning to parent well is equal to learning to love well . This creative handbook teaches us that there are tangible ways that we can deepen our capacity for empathy and presence - transforming our relation-ships with children and ourselves. Parenting has helped me to be a better spouse, friend and parent. A Little Book of Parenting Skills is a rare gift!” ~ Ruth Cox, Ph.D. Mother and Professor Institute for Holistic Health Studies San Francisco State University “Besides prenatal care, the best way parents-to-be can spend the nine months awaiting the birth of their child would be to learn this little book by heart. Then keep it close at hand for the next 18 years. The world would benefit greatly.” ~ Kathleen Dowling Singh, Ph.D. Mother, Grandmother and Author The Grace in Dying “We license people to drive. It's insane that we don't educate and license people to parent. A Little Book of Parenting Skills ought to be the Parent's Ed manual designated to help reduce the 100 billion dollars we spend annually on this problem.” ~ Peter Pearson, Ph.D. Father and Co-founder The Couples Institute “A Little Book of Parenting Skills is a tremendous resource for parents, educators, and students of human development. It offers a wealth of information in a compact package, including a virtual directory to delve more deeply into the topics it covers. The possibilities for who could find this book useful are almost endless – for new parents and parents-to-be, and for adults from dysfunctional families looking to re- parent themselves, this book will be an invaluable resource.” ~ Liz Zed, Ph.D. Mother and Licensed Clinical Psychologist Daytop Village Redwood City, California “This guide to parenting, based on recent research as well as time-tested wisdom, gently encourages parents to improve parenting skills and strengthen heart connections with their children.” ~ Karen Rossie, Ph.D. Mother and Global Mentor Faculty Institute of Transpersonal Psychology “A Little Book of Parenting Skills makes the findings from many research disciplines readily accessible. It’s a beautiful guidebook for learning the art of mindful parenting. I appreciate the way it encourages the development of core coping strategies to help deal with the challenges of parenting at all stages.” ~ Carole Press, LCSW Child and Family Social Worker “A wise and practical guide to what Mark Brady rightly calls, the ‘most important job on the planet.’ It’s especially refreshing to see the author urging parents to take even his sensible advice with a grain of salt. As he says, ‘Don’t parent by the book, parent by the child.’ Any parenting ‘expert’ wise enough to offer this advice, is worth attending to closely.” ~ Doug McAdam, Ph.D. Father and Sociology Professor Former Executive Director Center for Advance Studies in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford |
