Customer Reviews

Outstanding Book!

I have a 15yr old daughter that was really having a hard time. In reading this book, profound changes have taken place in myself and in my relationship with my daughter. Additionally, the way I relate to all children has changed as well. I feel this book has the potential to change future generations. Ba's website is a very helpful resource as well.

More than just a good parenting book!

I have read many of the parenting books out there and this one stands above the rest. It doesn't just address problems or difficulties but instead offers concrete examples and beautiful ways to nurture the well-being in my child, in my family, in society and in myself. I found this so refreshing. The book is beautifully written and infinitely deep in what it calls parenting. It offers great narratives, examples in case history form and really easy to understand tables that help tie everything together in one place. I can not recommend this book more for parents, teachers and professions alike.
