Accepting and respecting our children the way we would love to be accepted and respected teaches them inner strength, calmness, and kindness. In her wonderful real-life examples, she shows how spending time listening to and understanding them is time well spent. We have as much to learn from our children as we have to teach them.”
— Yvonne Oswald, PhD, award-winning, bestselling author of Every Word Has Power
