“How should I respond so it does not have a negative effect on my child? Top 20 Parents provides helpful answers to many parenting questions. It has brought about a level of consciousness to the way I respond to day-to-day situations that in the past were left to chance. My reaction to spilt milk used to include anger and frustration. Now my response to my kids’ mistakes has a positive impact on their developing self-esteem.”
– Jody, Mother

“I am a better father because of the tools in Top 20 Parents and my children will be great parents to my grandchildren because of the lessons I have learned. This book is the most valuable parenting book that I have ever bought.”
– Justin, Father
