Raising Kids

”““Using powerful yet simple principles, Raising Kids offers clear, unambivalent strategies that get results in the moment. This book is a must-have for parents.”” —Petra H. Steinbuchel, MD, Psychiatrist and Director, UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Child & Adolescent Psychiatry Portal “”Raising Kids provides the rationale as well as the language to use to support children through everyday difficulties, informed by decades of work with children and families in clinical practice and in schools.“” —Diana Divecha, PhD, Assistant Clinical Professor, Yale Child Study Center ““As a physician, I know Raising Kids will enter my must-have parenting resources not only because of its accessible ‘how-to’ approach, but also because it addresses ‘why.’ The authors show you how to get on the same side as your kids, and gain tools for getting back on track when you find yourself struggling.”” —Catherine Sonquist Forest, MD, MPH, former Medical Director and Clinical Associate Professor, Stanford Medicine”“Warm and relatable and sensible—all things parents need in a parenting book. Rather than providing prescriptions, Raising Kids helps parents understand themselves better, so that they can respond to any challenging parenting situation with confidence, awareness, and integrity.”” —Susan Eva Porter, Ph.D., MS.Ed., MSW, Head of School at Orinda Academy (CA) and author of Bully Nation: Why America’s Approach to Childhood Aggression is Bad for Everyone ”“As an educator, I plan to disseminate the lessons learned from the book. As a parent, I will rethink and re-shape some of the misconceptions and fears that I brought to parenting my two children. Raising Kids is an essential read for parents who want to parent with purpose, integrity, and equanimity.”” —Percy L. Abram, Ph.D., Head of School at The Bush School (WA)“
