Customer Reviews

Great parenting and counseling tool

I am an elementary counselor and have found this book to be filled with many helpful suggestions and ideas. I have recommended it to all my parents. There is a short summary at the end of each chapter for those who don't have a lot of time to read it through completely. The bibiliography at the end of each chapter has great resouces for both parent and child with web sites. It covers discipline, listening skills, conflict resolution, family meetings, anger management and much, much more. It is easy to read and has many real-life examples. It is clear, concise, useful and practical. Thank you Naomi for creating such a wonderful tool!

Peace is at hand!

Naomi Drew's book provides practical and realistic approaches to everyday challenges faced by parents in relating to their children. Real-life situations are presented. You will undoubtedly say to yourself, "I know that scenario. I've been in it and this is what I can do to handle it more effectively and peacefully next time". The book also provides a wonderful context for peaceful parenting. Ms. Drew discusses the impact of raising caring and compassionate children who have learned peaceful approaches to problem solving not only to peace in our homes, but in our communities, our country and our world.

This Book Helped Me

After my mom read Peaceful Parents, Peaceful Kids she made copies of the "Peaceful Kids Action Plan" for me. I hung each page in my room like the book said, and every day I followed the Peaceful Kids Action Steps. It's really helping me get along better with my family, even my little brother. I think more parents should get this book and use it with their kids. It really works. Plus my mom doesn't yell as much now.

A Must-Read for Parents

This book is an aboslute gem! It's loaded with practical ideas to help raise more peaceful kids and it's exactly the book every parent needs to keep by their nightstand. Too many parenting books are filled with theory -- this one is one of the few that is different. It tells us exactly what to do to help our kids calm down, deal with handle and bounce back. I'm already seeing the results on my kids. This one I strongly recommend!!!
