Children are not the problem

This is a wonderful book and one of my favorite parenting books, along with Alfie Kohn's Unconditional Parenting and Lawrence Cohen's Playful Parenting. The best thing I got out of it is an increased awareness for the knee jerk reactions we sometimes have to children's behavior. Behind it are often fears: I'm afraid they don't respect me. I'm afraid they don't know how to behave. I'm afraid everybody will hate them. Once you move past the knee jerk and into curiosity you can act loving, supportive, and authentic. Only if we treat children with genuine respect can we expect the same from them. Work on yourself, Naomi's message is, and look at parenting as a wonderful path of self-realization.

Eye Opening

This book gave me a new perspective on parenting. I don't say that lightly. I was raised to see punnishment and bribery as an intergal part of raising children. This booked freed me from needing to follow in an old pattern that, quite frankly, did not work for any of the families that I know. I feel blessed that I read a book like this while my son is still so young. It really gave me the opportunity to step back and re-evaluate my own biases in a way that not many books do.

I'm buying it for every parent I know

I recently read "Raising our Children, Raising Ourselves"
and I have to say that it is an amazing book and one that has created a
fundamental shift in how I approach my relationship with my children. I
have always been an advocate for gentle and respectful parenting, but this
book has offered me "mental" tools to examine my own internal world and
reactions to my children, and frankly, my spouse. I've passed it along to
several friends and they feel the same.

Like any other good parenting book...

...you take what is reasonable for you and your family and discard the stuff that is not. It flows along the lines of attachment parenting, Easy to Love; Difficult to Discipline type of thinking. I found many parts useful and enlightening AND there were parts where I found myself thinking "do what??" So, as with everything else; use it as a guideline, not a bible.
