Just when you thought you've heard it all-Parenting from the Heart offers a new and different, refreshing approach to parenting. This easy-to-understand, down-to-earth book moves beyond parenting... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Parenting From The Heart, by Dr Jack Pransky, is a pearl. Written to get to the heart of the matter, it is a book that can be the catalyst for transformation in parenting. For parents that are already doing well, to parents that are struggling, it is a gold mine of wisdom and common sense. I recommend it for parents with children of all ages. I have 5 children aged from 31 to 41 and nine grandchildren and have found it invaluable. It is required reading for all clients who come to us with parenting difficulties.

I have used this book in parenting classes for two years now and have had exceptional results. What is different about this book is that it is not a cookie cutter way of dealing with parenting.What works for one parent may not work for another. This book guides parents to another place for the answer. Step by step Jack points out the value in calming down, deep listening and finding your own inner wisdom. Each chapter brings you further into your ability to create rapport with your child.
finally a common sense look at parenting

As soon as I realized I was pregnant, I ran out and bought numerous books on parenting. By the end of my readings, I was confused and saddened that such a natural, beautiful gift was made to be so complicated. Luckily, I was familiar with Dr. Pransky's loving, humble, simple book Parenting from the Heart. I put down the other self-help parenting books and recalled the common sense approach to listen to my child and to my own wisdom, and to follow my heart. Truly, I hope that more parents find this little book, and discover for themselves the loving joy that comes with parenting from the heart.
A book every parent should have

Parenting from the Heart is a straightforward, clear, touching guide to creating a wonderful family life, filled with adventure, laughter, optimism, hope and enthusiasm. Jack Pransky's insights into the way parents and children can listen to each other, reconnect even in troublesome situations, and find the way back to the loving relationships that make it possible to solve any problem are helpful and practical. I have suggested this book to parents facing difficulties on many occasions, and have always received glowing thanks and reports of unexpected positive changes in the quality of family well-being. I highly recommend it. An added bonus: I've shared it on a few occasions with management teams in difficulty, and it was useful to them, too!

This book stuck a chord for me as a child care professional. In a clear and simple way it cuts to the core of parenting and caregiving and brings the reader back to the essentials of parenting. It really highlights the joy that should be a part of parenting and helps the reader ground themselves in that joy and use it as a tool with their kids, without any gimmicky techniques or tricks.
