How to Become the Parent You Always Wanted to Be

Are you ready to become the parent you always wanted to be?You know what the most common thread is among all the emails I receive through this site?

No matter what the main topic of the email, there is always this slightly embarrassed, slightly self-deprecating line hidden somewhere in the email…

“I love your articles! If only I could remember to use all those ideas at the right time…”

And my response?

“Me too…”

Here’s the rub: the theory of positive parenting is gloriously transcendent. But the practice…

Oh, it’s anything but!

Struggling to hold your tongue when all you want to do is rant and rave and bring down the house isn’t what beautiful pastel-colored dreams are made of. Questioning your actions with loathsome self-doubt every step of the way isn’t what any of us signed up for.

What can we do then?

Reading articles on this and other similar sites dedicated to reaffirming the theory of positive parenting—and gently nudging you to take baby steps in the practical side of things—is definitely a good start.

Right Now, For a Limited Time Though, There’s a Far More Powerful Way…
