5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have Book for Parents, October 27, 2001

By	Brenda Crawford-Clark, LMHC, LMFT (Tampa) - See all my reviews

As an author and therapist I'm pretty picky about what I recommend. But I can tell you that Caron Goode's book is one that I recommend to all of my clients and friends. She provides powerful insight and hands-on techniques to help parents reach their goal of raising self-confident, happy children who feel free to follow their dream. In a world so focused on fear, this book should go to the top of your purchase list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Parenting for the 21 century: review by Gen Xer, March 12, 2001

By	"islandchi" (san diego, ca) - See all my reviews

This was my first time on Amazon.Com, and I had to comment on this book. As a product of Generation X, I have heard the echo of my generation..... we are a very self interested group, motivated by what benifits us directly. As I have grown into adult-hood key themes of this generation have held steadfast,while some have fallen away. There has been an awareness of self that has resounded, focusing inward towards preservation of self. Through meditation,self-assessment, empowerment, and striving to nurture the left and right hand sides of the brain, our generation is unlike any other. What we have learned has the oppurtunity to carry over into parenting techniques to nurture our children in a style that has hardly been looked at or applied. This book on inspired parenting gives you tools for application in nurturing your child. These tools will not be found in the tradtional educational system (YET!) and it is an amazingly simple set of concepts to grasp. The chapters are easy reading filled with vingettes and inspiring quotes. Dr Goode begins her book with a chapter on your child's dreams. In today's fast paced society, most childrens "dreams" are merely seen as a passing interest. How do we, as parents, learn to distinguish between our childrens dreams and a passing fancy? Dr. Goode discusses ways to recognize and nurture your child dreams. She addresses basic child development theories, adding additional insights not found in most parenting books that are out there. Dr. Goode also goes through self-esteem, empowerment, recognizing and managing stress in children. Her alternative themes are holistic in nature offering a way to recognize and manage behavior without being one of the millions of parents who have a child on prozac before they even reach puberty. As a parent of the 21st century, I hope that Inspired Parenting is a glimpse into a new way of parenting for a better generation of enlightened and aware individuals... what a society we could have.....
