Here is what Dr. Laura Markham of Ahaparenting.com has to say about this ebook:

"This new ebook educates parents with real life scenarios, showing simply and accessibly how to put positive parenting into action in daily life. The user-friendly format takes daily scenarios that stump even seasoned parents, tells us what's going on in the child to cause the behavior, and recommen...ds specific parenting interventions to get the child back on track. Divided into sections like Nighttime, Potty Learning, Hitting and Whining, it addresses all the usual challenges of life with young children. Parents learn how to handle those supermarket meltdowns, the restaurant trip that makes you cringe, and even the inevitable sibling squabbles."

What people are saying:

*I purchased your ebook and I'm really impressed. It's a great introduction to the concepts behind positive parenting, telling what it is and what it is not. I like the examples behind what is permissive versus what is positive parenting. -Allison F.

*I can't wait to share your new e-book with all my mom friends. I think it is very informative and has great scientific information as well as examples. It will be a great easy reference manual for parents! - Julie Y.

*I'm reading your E-book this morning and it is WONDERFUL! I'm excited to put all the tools to use with my children and spread the word about this great resource! - Ronelle

*I’ve finished reading the ‘Newbie Guide’. Excellent!

Informative: Laying down a base for why we want to be positive parents (or grandparents) appeals to our logic and enables us to let go of preconceived ideas of reward and punishment.

Tells what, how, and why: Books in the ‘70s told us ‘what’ but left us to our own instincts of just ‘how’ to be positive. Although our intentions were good, following through was difficult without really understanding how and why. The ‘why’ reinforces the importance of the ‘what’ and the ‘how’.

Gives examples: The examples re-enforce the ‘how and all parents can relate to the simple examples provided: hitting, throwing toys...

Easy language appealing to broad range of people: The language is simple and easy to understand. It’s obvious it’s been written by a loving, nurturing parent doing their best to raise their own children, and not from a doctor or psychologist trying to improve our behaviour as parents.

Leaves one feeling positive and good about themselves: The positive, loving, caring tone of the book leaves me as a grandparent feeling inspired to do my best to be positive and gentle with my grandchildren, even when they are having a bad day.

Thanks so much for making this book available in ebook form and for such a minimal price! - R.

*I think this book is wonderful! It is a great blend of philosophy, with practical tips for how to apply the principles. I love some of the cute ideas you have in there! LIke the mind jar, and I love your photo of the responsibility poster also. You phrased it so beautifully...that children are often punished for being human and are held to an ideal that we ourselves cannot attain. You have packed a lot of great info into this book. Highly recommend! - ConsciousParents.org

As a psychologist parents often come to me for assistance with their parenting challenges and with issues they consider behavior problems in their children. I have recently begun recommending this resource as an easy "how to get started" guide when they are new to the concept of positive parenting. I think it's a great resource. - Samantha M.
