Written by Beth Roy, the lessons taught in these accounts build a framework for parenting with kindness and communication, using specific steps for empowering children and resolving conflict constructively. Through relationship-building strategies, today's parents will learn concrete ways to create a comfortable environment for raising a child, as well as how to overcome their own self-doubt regarding parenting skills and how to multitask through every stage of childrearing. "This book emphasizes sound principles of communication, examining the process of parenting in the contest of culture, race, gender, class, history, and ideology," Publisher Cathy Winch of Personhood Press told TDmonthly.
