Every parent would happily give up ever scolding, punishing or threatening if she only knew how to ensure that her toddler/child/teen would thrive and act responsibly without such painful measures. Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves is the answer to this universal wish. It is not about gentle ways to control a child, but about a way of being and of understanding a child so she/he can be the best of herself, not because she fears you, but because she wants to, of her own free will.
"Aldort’s book should be on the must read list of all Moms and Dads. This book could carry a subtitle: "Saving the Emotional Lives of Our Children and The Future of Humanity.""
- James Prescott, Ph.D. Institute of Humanistic Science
"Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves operates on the radical premise that neither child nor parent must dominate; it is for those who want to give up scolding, threatening and punishing. Her SALVE "formula" alone is worth the price of the book." - Peggy O'Mara Editor and Publisher of Mothering
"Every once in awhile, a writer comes along who is comfortable speaking the truth, no matter how much it might challenge us or make us uncomfortable. Naomi Aldort is one of those people. In Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves, Naomi Aldort takes the struggle out of parenting and replaces controlling and shaping style of parenting with one that values, trusts and nurtures children's innate abilities and autonomy."
- Wendy Priesnitz Editor of Life Learning magazine, author of School Free and Challenging Assumptions in Education
"In this stunning insight into human nature, Naomi Aldort opens a window into harmonious family living. This book should to be widely read and not just by parents but by every being who strives for a more peaceful world."
- Veronika Robinson, Editor of The Mother magazine, UK

Summary: Raising our children, healing ourselves...
Comment: For any parent, grandparent or in fact, any other human being out there who has relationships with others, this book introduces a genuinely inspiring way of living and relating to others - with love, kindness, gentleness, assertiveness and respect. It also happens to be one of the best parenting books I have ever read (of about 40). Naomi effectively highlights how the essential it is that we see children as having the same right to be treated with honour and dignity that we adults expect to be. Naomi's personal integrity, wisdom and broad range of experience shine as she leads us into a new world of parenting and relating to others. She encourages you to ask hard questions, and I don't think you could read her book and not begin to heal the wounds of your own upbringing. I have had some very serious challenges with the way I have dealt with my children in the past, but I am gradually finding a gentler, more loving path and we can see the benefits already. All children deserve to have parents who are willing to grow and heal on their journey as parents... this book is a great place for you to start.

Summary: A gem
Comment: I've honestly only read about 1/2 of this book and that may all I ever need, truth be told. The key ideas shared are transforming (and I can't believe I'm using that word) the ways I'm communicating with my 3 year old. When I take the time to *think* about how to reframe a concept so my very bright daughter gets it and calms down, I love it. More to learn from the ideas presented, but I do want to recommend this as one of the most important communication books I've ever read. I don't like self-help books, so this is saying a great deal. Take the time to read the author's approach -- it's more than I imagined and I NEVER say that.

Summary: Happy to Report
Comment: My two year old son just breezed through the transition from his crib to a bed. I have felt in my heart that this style of parenting is best but I don't feel there is much support for it in the parenting world at large. Despite feeling unsure, I pressed on, reading this book and a few others to bolster my resolve. My two-year old son is a joy and a delight. Well-behaved and trusting. What more could a parent ask for?
