Early Reviews LOVEPARENT is a beautiful book and deserves to be widely read. The message is nothing less than superb. Judith Stanton, Editor of "Emmanuel's Book" A MUST-read for parents or anyone contemplating parenthood, as well as a valuable guide for everyone. LOVEPARENT offers spiritual insight into why we choose to be here and contains wisdom beyond everyday and obvious perception. The Rev. Hannelore Goodwin, Founder, Circle of Miracles Once I started LOVEPARENT I couldn't stop until I finished ... I wish I had this book when I started having children... Thank you for creating a book based on spiritual truths to help families grow and flourish. Annette Kroninger LOVEPARENT encompasses every phase of life from birth ... through childhood, mature adult, and is completely inspired by love ... This [book] is an invaluable template for all of us. Nena Girsch Even those of us who don't have children will find handy kernels of truth in Ms. Thompson's respectful approach to a broad range of parenting issues in LOVEPARENT. Trace DeHaven LOVEPARENT is the perfect handbook for remembering who we are and why we came here. Ms. Thompson clearly and kindly reminds us to allow our children to be our teachers. Shianna Kuhn Thank you, Betsy, for the gift of LOVEPARENT. Joy Poulter LOVEPARENT, I love the emphasis on the idea that being a gifted parent means being kind to oneself and role modeling - not lecturing. This book encourages us to live what matters to us, so that our children choose wisely for themselves. I especially liked the chapters, "Adolescence" and "Sibling Rivalry." Peace Baxter What you have to say in LOVEPARENT is, in my opinion, so very healthy! Priscilla Shaffer LOVEPARENT interprets spirit's journey from thought, to seed, to birth, following the child's journey well into adolescence. Among the topics discussed are communication, eating habits, sibling rivalry, discipline, peer group temptations, adoption, divorce and independence. The union between parent and child is the main focus of the book, and recommends taking positive action in your relationship with your child rather than trying to get rid of the negative. If you enjoy parenting, or hope to parent yourself better, LOVEPARENT is the book for you. Quotes From Book "The beauty of parenting is in knowing how to enjoy it." "Praise your child's individuality. Rivalry thrives on comparisons." "Your child communicates from the love of God within. When you speak to her, let her see your agreement." "Allowance and chores exist in harmony if the child sees himself as a part of the working whole." "Your child notices everything you do. What do you want him to remember?" "The way to reach a child who believes he can't live up to your expectations is to change your expectations." "If you want your child to thank you for every little gift that comes his way, thank him for every little gift he brings to you. If you want him to practice his music lessons diligently, practice your contribution diligently. If you want him to be an early achiever, achieve your goals sooner than you anticipated. Don't worry if he'll catch on. If he sees you enjoying yourself in what you're doing, he'll try to copy you in whatever he's doing." - from Chapter 16, Social Achievement/Artistic Achievement
