Customer Reviews

Wonderful Book!

I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. It is easy to read, inspiring and beautifully written. This is a great parenting book!

Diana Loomans has done it again!

Drawing on her wealth of awareness, sensitivity and insight into parenting and life itself, Diana has created a book for parents and non-parents alike - as well as for children of all ages. Having her daughter Julia's real-world experience and help in creating this book adds greatly to its appeal. Being in the ¨non-parent¨category, I find Diana's heart-warming stories and wonderful tips and tools apply equally to the care of my own ¨inner children!¨ What a wonderful gift one can give to oneself - and to those who are parents too. Conscious parenting is one of our next most important frontiers as we begin the 21st century, and Diana's contribution is a must-read for everyone wanting to make our world a better place.

I am happy to recommend such a powerful book!!

Diana writes in such a way that she easily opens and expands your mind to see new ways of parenting that are practical and playfully fun. I especially enjoyed the chapter on practicing true listening skills to which inspired me further in my desire to listen in all my relationships. Even though I'm not a parent, I'm planning on exercising the 12 keys with my "Little Brother" in the "Big Brother program" and to my younger inner self. If you are a parent, then this would be in my opinion a must have in experiencing the true joy of parenthood!

Love it!

I first discovered Diana's work after my son was born. We read "The Loveables" over and over again! This is another book of hers which I will be buying multiple copies of! Parents with kids of all ages will benefit from this wonderful book. My kids are teens now. Diana Loomans knows what she's talking about! Highly recommended.

Wonderful

As always Diana ceases to amaze me with her incredible insights and positive affects she has with her writing. I have always been a fan of Diana's books and praise her for this work of art and all her incredible books. My children and I agree, this is an incredible book. Bravo Diana you've done it again.
