Parenting

We love our children and want to be the best parents we can be, but despite our intentions - and maybe because of them - we often lose our patience. This book will empower you with the tools to tackle the greatest challenge of your life, raising children.

No father wakes up in the morning and decides that today he will yell at his children, and no mother enjoys threatening or punishing. We love our children and want to be the best parents possible. Although we feel strongly about being understanding and kind, we often lose our patience and then regret our behavior later.

What happens in the space between our good intentions and reality, and more importantly - what can we do to alter our reactions?
