Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 The modern parent struggles to raise children who are not as respectful and disciplined as they were when they were children. Many parents feel as though they are not making any progress with their children, and they are growing more and more frustrated.#2 The gap between children and adults has never been bigger. We struggle to live up to our image of what parenting should be like, and we feel as if we are failing at the task. We are also afraid that the world has become less safe for our children, and we are powerless to protect them.#3 The state of affairs is ironic, given that more is known about child development than ever before and that we have more access to courses and books on childrearing than any previous generation of parents.#4 The secret of parenting is not in what a parent does, but rather who the parent is to a child. When a child seeks contact and closeness with us, we become empowered as a nurturer, a comforter, a guide, a model, a teacher, or a coach.
