Summary

A guide to successful communication-based parenting from a mum, teacher, and therapist who has tried it all!

Children don’t come with an instruction manual. Thankfully, you can buy this one! Lacking confidence as a parent? Unsure and questioning your parenting approach, but not knowing where to start? I’m Sharon Eshmade, and I can relate, as someone who has been there, done that, and written this audiobook. Parents deserve a shortcut, and this audiobook achieves just that. Luckily, you don't have to drive around in circles, hit the constant potholes, or meet the same dead ends that I did. Fast-track and upgrade your parenting now. You can be a safe and confident driver, with a roadworthy vehicle and happy passengers too.

After 20 years in special needs teaching, I wondered why my traditional parenting style hadn’t delivered me perfect parenting status or stopped my kids from lying, defying, manipulating, and kicking me in the shin when they didn’t get their way. I then questioned whether a U-turn on my outdated parenting methods was needed. This audiobook details my journey, testing the best and worst parenting approaches, which transformed my life to become a talk therapist and parenting coach.

Unexpectedly, I also developed acceptance and kindness of myself to become a more positive and compassionate person. My individually tailored communication-based parenting approach instils empathy and connection as your kids develop into independent adults. If you’re exasperated with your boisterous children, or you just want to strengthen your relationship with them, you’ll find answers in this audiobook.

I have done the testing, so throw out the old road map, and get straight on the highway of confident parenting.

Insightful parenting book

The author gives many detailed explanations and exercises to help parents stay calm, communicate better, and really become more effective and present parents. I think this book could really help anyone in many aspects of their lives, not just parents.

Great parenting analogies book

There are lots of books on parenting but I have never seen a book on parenting that is based on an analogy and I was fascinated to hear about parenting through the prism of crash testing. As a trained therapist I use analogies all the time and I know how useful they are to help people create new paradigm shifts about problem issues.
This book certainly does that and helps you view the challenges of parenting in a useful way so you can keep things in perspective. A great addition to the parenting book space.

Awesome manual for parents!

Being a mom of two, I loved how supportive and practical this manual is! Wish I listened to this earlier! Full practical examples and guidance, I will definitely listen to it again! Sharon is open and non judgmental about real parenting and how to work on ourselves first to better support our little ones!
