Praise from National Parenting Authors and Experts...


The Parents Toolshop
 offers remarkably clear, insightful and practical advice (I say “remarkably” because so many parenting books do not do this!). There were many things that impressed me about this book, including its comprehensive nature and the no-nonsense approach, but I was most impressed by the book’s simple step-by-step plans for handling parenting challenges. Although it is helpful to know the details of development and theory, what parents need most in the moment is the answer to the question, “What on earth do I DO?” The fact that this book can answer that question so reliably and for so many different situations makes it a stand-out in this category. It also has terrific endorsements and is well-priced for the amount of material being offered, and I felt that the cover and copy did a good job of “selling” the book to the buyer by letting them know right away which problems the book was going to help them solve. — Certificate of Merit from Writer’s Digest for the 2001 National Self-Published Book awards.

All the tools for building a healthy family are in here — and she gladly tells us how to gain these skills in a friendly and upbeat manner. Many of us may find the long journey of parenthood to be profoundly challenging. With insights garnered from The Parent’s Toolshop, at last we have a map.” — Fearless Reviews

Pawel tackles dozens of common issues and empowers parents with a reliable system for resolving any problem on their own. This book, written in a conversational tone, gives parents everything they need to know to parent their children, no matter what age.” — Argus Observer, Ontario, Oregon

Here are practical solutions, not just philosophy. Some books warn whatnot to do. Pawel has an almost bottomless “tool box” of things to do, where and when. Quick fixes and contradictory stuff are omitted. The author has assembled an organized program of related solutions that respect all sides in a conflict and suggest procedures with clarity…Incisive text, effective exercises, 100 “best-of” skills. Extensive research and testing gives this masterpiece a leg up.” — The Book Reader, Spring/Summer 2000
