Testimonial: The Lunch and Learn Parenting Series is a valuable companion to The Parent’s Toolshop, both of which I turn to again and again as I work towards a balanced parenting style and effective communication with my family. I play the lectures while I walk, drive, cook, clean, or nurse — anytime I need to review, reinforce, and clarify what I’m learning in the book. On difficult days, I take a little pressure off by listening to the talks. Then I can return, relaxed and confident, to my family. It’s like a mini parenting retreat. My mother told me that my eight-year-old has taught her how to use I-messages! For anyone new to The Parent’s Toolshop, these talks make a helpful introduction to the key concepts. I don’t think I will ever finish listening to them, just like I won’t finish the book, even though I may have read every word twice. I hear and read something different every time, depending on the challenges I’m facing at home. — — Andrea Bustos, GA |
