The overall values and moral viewpoints of this book are just way too far off for me to even consider recommending this book to anyone. Topics such as same sex marriage being encouraged, and sexual orientation feel too much like an agenda trying to be pushed that is most definitely wrong and dangerous.

I love feeling supported in my communication with my kids rather than like the “odd one”. This is a great start to spread acceptance of some gentle parenting with boundaries.

This is a fantastic resource for any parent. The conversation scripts that are offered allow parents to immediately build confidence to kick off conversations that might have felt intimidating. The additional resources in each chapter allow for families to expand discussion through ways that children enjoy learning. This is a gem.

It is a great reminder that kids feel feelings different than adults do. A great conversation starter to investigate more because there is more than just the surface level with kids.

Great book for parents of young children. (Aged 2 to 5 might be ideal target age.) So many real world examples of conversations that were REALLY helpful. Instead of just abstract, the author gives actual conversations to help you think about actionable ways that you could deal with a similar situation. Our daughter is 6, so I missed the window on some of these, but still great ideas on how to handle tough conversations.

I really appreciated how many examples of conversations there were. I feel like so many times books are theory only so I appreciated the examples of how to do it in practice!

Great book! This books helps provide hands-on strategies and delicate ways to promote compassion in children, and ourselves, through conversations- often the ones we may not feel prepared to have!
