Testimonials 

"I am absolutely thrilled that The Mouse, the Monster and Me and Liking Myself are updated and back in print!  I have used these books for all of my 23 years of elementary counseling classroom lessons, and my copies are tattered beyond repair.  They are among the best resources to teach assertiveness and personal skills—students retain the information and refer to them years later!"               
—Marilyn Agee, M.Ed., LMHC, Finalist for the 2009 National Counselor of the year Award of the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), and recipient of the Betsy Houghton Top National Award from the National Association of Student Assistance Professionals (NASAP)
“Every person any age needs these books!  The important messages could prevent a lot of psychological disorders and depression in teens and adult life.”  
 —Bonnie Neely, Amazon Reviewer

"Both books deserve two thumbs up from me as well as five stars each. They are fantastic books!  Outstanding!"  — SheScribes, parenting blogger

The Promise of Positive Parenting

Positive parenting is a pro-active, uplifting approach that brings out the best in families. This approach bolsters:

• Inner strength • Emotional competence
• Resilience • Social competence
• Self-esteem • Assertiveness

Positive parenting can prevent dysfunctional behavior, addictions, diseases, and painful drama.

The "Big Picture"

Positive parenting begins with the "big picture" — the optimistic vision that motivates parents to start their families. It guides everything that happens on a day-by-day basis; it gives meaning and purpose to life, and sustains us through the tough times. All the "little things" contribute to the success of the "big picture" goal.

"Keeping the Big Picture in mind is one of the most important things parents can do, 
and also one of the hardest."
– T. Berry Brazelton, M.D., pediatrician and author

The Process

For many, positive parenting requires the hard work of rewriting the "script," or pattern, they learned from their parents. It means letting go of fear-based parenting styles and practicing the uplifting attitudes and strategies that support healthy development.

The Payoff

The rewards for positive parenting show up in:

  • More laughter, successes, satisfaction and a smoother daily flow,
  • Caring, cooperative, and confident children, and
  • Deep satisfaction and pride as children grow and blossom.

There is no better feeling than knowing you have raised a healthy family that will forever have a heart-connection.

"As a clinical psychologist specializing in adults with chronic pain, 
I see the wreckage in people's lives caused by childhood neglect and abuse. 
The need for positive parenting is urgent."
– Ani Liggett, Ph.D. Licensed Psychologist
