Helpful for Grandparents, Too!

Vickie Falcone's book helped me understand what I was already doing right and the specific behaviors that were getting in the way of closeness with my grandchildren. The sections on breathing and connecting were especially rich. I am raising a granddaughter now who had a number of meltdowns the first five months we were together. By setting my intention, staying present and breathing, I experienced constant miracles. We now have a comfortable, loving and close relationship. Thank you, Vickie!

excellent book on parenting with spirit and soul!

I bought Vickie Falcone's book "Buddha Never Raised Kids ..." as a treat for myself and now I want to buy it for all my friends who are, or will be, parents of young children. It is beautifully written, warm, inclusive, and funny. This is not a book about religion, but about parenting with love, patience, respect, joy, and soul. Vickie takes the wisdom of religious/spiritual leaders throughout the ages and applies their words and thoughts to parenting. She includes her own high and low points as a mother of two, as well as a few fun exercises that help you get in touch with what your needs and goals are as a person and a parent. Whether it was advice that helped me get to that place I have wanted to be as a mother, or the pat on the back of reading things that I already believe in or practice, this book has had a profound affect on me. I can't recommend it highly enough!

Best Parenting Book on the Market!

This is by far the best parenting book I've ever read! Finally, a book that encompasses practical parenting with spiritual principles. As someone who has worked as a child development specialist, yet also has a strong spiritual practice, I often find it very difficult to find a good book that incorporates both practical, researched fundamentals of development and spiritual aspects of parenting. Vickie Falcone has finally done it. This book is sensible, straight forward, insightful and life altering. Each principle enhanced the quality of our family life considerably. This is the book I think many people have been waiting for! Thank goodness it has finally arrived!

I'm betting we'll see this one on Oprah - SOON!

This book represents the leading edge of thought on the subject of parenting! Vickie Falcone offers us a powerful course in parenting from the broader perspective. She has bridged the teachings of the most respected spiritual teachers with practical parenting skills that relate to my family's daily challenges. My husband and I are committed to practicing these principles and as a result, we are experiencing positive shifts in all our relationships. Vickie inspires us to experience our relationships with our children as the amazing opportunities for spiritual growth they are intended to be. Families of all faiths will benefit from this book! I can't think of a better holiday gift!!
