5.0 out of 5 stars This book will change your life (Really!), September 20, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Essence of Parenting (Paperback)
After reading this book, I gave a big sigh of relief. Parenting could be fun, joyful, and full of the love I feel for my children. That love is within me and all I needed was this book and a simple shift in attitude to realize this. Everything that Anne and Vic have written is simple, which is not to say that it is easy. It requires trust and discipline, but our children, and ourselves, are certainly worth this. This book doesn't preach or give you lists of things to do, but instead guides you gently on your path as a parent and a person. I can honestly say that this book will help parents with children of any age, and any question you may have about your parenting. You already know the answers, and they are within you. The Essence of Parenting will help you to see that what you seek lies within your own heart. I can't imagine my life without this book!

This review is from: The Essence of Parenting (Paperback)
More than anything, what children need are happy, confident, peaceful parents. This book teaches us how to find that for ouselves; and, how to then allow our children to discover it within themselves ... the essence of parenting.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book you need, April 2, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Essence of Parenting (Paperback)
This is a great book. It totally reshaped my views towards parenting, and helped me focus my own life as well. It teaches that you can't be a good parent unless you love yourself first. If you work on that, everything else falls into place. I'm sending it to all my friends.
