AudioFile Reviews : AudioFile Reviews 2007 December/January 2008 Sounding more relaxed and optimistic than ever, Bernie Siegel offers a cascade of stories and heartfelt advice on what it takes to be the most loving parent you can be. He sounds like he's sharing coffee at your kitchen table as he goes through challenges that will ring true to all parents--from creating a loving family culture and resolving conflicts to dealing with your children's personalities and balancing oversight with a child's need for privacy. His voice and tone are as uplifting as they are comforting, and his personal stories reveal exceptional warmth. His advice is fairly specific--there are plenty of things you can try with your family--but the broader message is to love from the heart and ease the stress of parenting with humor and humility.
