Nothing Changes Our View of the World
More Than Having a Child...

Real families share the changes they've made using this collaborative approach.
Nothing Changes Our View of the World More Than Having a Child...
Real families share the changes they've made using this collaborative approach.
 When children are stalling, resisting, or hitting, we want to make it stop. But time-outs and consequences teach children that more powerful people can control others - our kids resist them anyway.

This book offers a different approach:
​​​​​​​we learn to look beneath challenging behaviors to find and meet everyone's needs, and create solutions that work for your whole family.
