5.0 out of 5 stars I've thrown away all my other parenting books., January 24, 2002

I have used this book in parenting classes for two years now and have had exceptional results. What is different about this book is that it is not a cookie cutter way of dealing with parenting.
What works for one parent may not work for another. This book guides parents to another place for the answer. Step by step Jack points out the value in calming down, deep listening and finding your own inner wisdom. Each chapter brings you further into your ability to create rapport with your child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Parenting From The Heart, February 7, 2002

Parenting From The Heart, by Dr Jack Pransky, is a pearl. Written to get to the heart of the matter, it is a book that can be the catalyst for transformation in parenting. For parents that are already doing well, to parents that are struggling, it is a gold mine of wisdom and common sense. I recommend it for parents with children of all ages. I have 5 children aged from 31 to 41 and nine grandchildren and have found it invaluable. It is required reading for all clients who come to us with parenting difficulties.

5.0 out of 5 stars finally a common sense look at parenting, January 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Parenting from the Heart: A Guide to the Essence of Parenting (Paperback)

As soon as I realized I was pregnant, I ran out and bought numerous books on parenting. By the end of my readings, I was confused and saddened that such a natural, beautiful gift was made to be so complicated. Luckily, I was familiar with Dr. Pransky's loving, humble, simple book Parenting from the Heart. I put down the other self-help parenting books and recalled the common sense approach to listen to my child and to my own wisdom, and to follow my heart. Truly, I hope that more parents find this little book, and discover for themselves the loving joy that comes with parenting from the heart.
