The overall values and moral viewpoints of this book are just way too far off for me to even consider recommending this book to anyone. Topics such as same sex marriage being encouraged, and sexual orientation feel too much like an agenda trying to be pushed that is most definitely wrong and dangerous.

I love feeling supported in my communication with my kids rather than like the “odd one”. This is a great start to spread acceptance of some gentle parenting with boundaries.

This is a fantastic resource for any parent. The conversation scripts that are offered allow parents to immediately build confidence to kick off conversations that might have felt intimidating. The additional resources in each chapter allow for families to expand discussion through ways that children enjoy learning. This is a gem.

It is a great reminder that kids feel feelings different than adults do. A great conversation starter to investigate more because there is more than just the surface level with kids.
