NAPPA Award Winner

“Our awards program recognizes only top-quality products that are innovative, reliable and educational,” says Julie Kertes, General Manager of NAPPA, the National Parenting Publication Awards. “A product that bears the NAPPA seal is a product that parents can trust.”

Last week we received word that The “Perfect” Parent was honored with NAPPA Gold Award for Parenting Resources/Education. It was a humbling experience, considering the criteria NAPPA uses to award its Gold, Silver and Bronze honors. More than a seal of approval, this recognition signifies that NAPPA’s team of independent expert judges and family testers agreed this book was a standout among hundreds of books on similar topics from around the world.

Back in October 2014 when The “Perfect” Parent was published, I shared my journey in an article for the Santa Clarita Valley Signal. Since then I’ve had the opportunity to speak with hundreds of parents about the book’s message: using your inner perfection to connect with your kids.

I began this journey to authorship with no expectations, just a pure passion for advocating the importance of mindful parenting. I’ve put my heart and soul into this and have gotten back much more than I ever thought possible.

Today I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to NAPPA and its judges for this incredible recognition. Your belief in our message, combined with the outpouring of support and positive feedback we’ve received from around the world, has warmed my heart.

With 25 years of experience in the parenting industry, NAPPA has always been relied on for its high standards in recommending the best products for parents, children, and families.

“We’re excited that The “Perfect” Parent is joining this year’s list of award-winning products,” says Kertes. “With NAPPA’s vote of confidence, it’s sure to be a welcome addition to anyone’s gift list.”

Look for the book with the new NAPPA Gold Award seal on the cover.
