"Transformational Parenting is a revolution in parenting and I strongly recommend it."
|
I've taken all of the books I recommend and many more as well as my own philosophy and bring them together in Transformtaional Parenting. Transformational Parenting is a revolutionary approach to parenting that turns the idea of “parenting” as we know it upside-down. By teaching parents psychological tools for personal growth as well as evidence-based parenting tools, in-book exercises, and tools for everyday life, parents and children can together transform into the best version of themselves.
You will learn:
You will learn:

- How to let go of anxiety, sadness and anger and help your children let go too
- How to raise your child to his or her full potential and much more…
Nurture Shock by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman
Po and Ashley did an excellent job of taking some of the best psychological research that applies to parenting and summing it up here for you.
Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn
An in-your-face informational and research-based book about the hidden consequences of traditional discipline and absolutely a must-read for every parent wishing not to psychologically scar their children!
Parenting From The Inside Out by Dan Siegel
My absolute favorite all-time read and definitely the most influential book for me as a mother. I interviewed Dan Siegel last year (see "Videos with Psychology Rock Stars" under Categories on this page). He is a hero of mine and I was gushing a bit. He is brilliant and has helped marry the fields of psychology and neurology to help us all gain wider wisdom.
Positive Discipline by Jane Nelsen
Ok, I have two all-time favorite reads. This also tops the list. Dr. Nelsen provides tools we can use! I loved it so much I went and became a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator!
Parenting for a Peaceful World by Robin Grille
I read this book before I became a parent and attribute Robin's knowledge and inspiration to my ceaseless advocacy to children. It will change you!
The Aware Baby by Aletha Solter
This book saved me when I was caring for my children when they were infants and babies. I learned what to do about crying and how to process the intensity that comes with it...and so much more!

Three Personal Growth Books That Every Human Should Read
Be Here Now by Ram Dass
Way before Eckhart Tolle, there was Ram Dass, a Harvard Psychologist who went to India, became enlightened and is credited for bringing Eastern perspective into Western thinking. I interviewed him in his home on Maui, Hawaii last year and was in awe of his ability to connect, and just be loving kindness. Check out the interview, in the "Videos With Psychology Rock-Stars" category on this page and more importantly, read the book!
Waking The Tiger: Healing Trauma by Peter A. Levine
Trauma is everywhere, whether you were abused or not, we all have experienced trauma. It manifests though obesity, heart conditions, cancer, anxiety, mental illness, and has us working in survival mode, from the reptilian part of our brain instead of from an enlightened and conscious place. This book sums up some of what psychologists are taught and should be essential reading for everyone.
The Law of Attraction by Ester and Jerry Hicks
Hear me out, it comes off as a bit airy-fairy-like as the whole introduction is about the author channeling a being from another dimension. But regardless of your spiritual beliefs, the information is spot-on and the messaging now proving to be scientifically accurate. My favorite quote from the book "You are a creator, and the subject of your creation is your joyful experience. That is your mission. That is your quest. That is why you are here."
