Media Reviews
Wisdom for parents of children of all ages from one of the most astute psychologists on the planet. Dr. Mogel explains the art and science of communicating with the people you love most. * Angela Duckworth, New York Times bestselling author of Grit *
In this brilliant, compassionate book, Wendy Mogel has something to offer every parent. By practicing what Mogel recommends, parents will find the dance they do with their children as they wend their way to adulthood less uncertain, less painful, and more joyful that it is now. Read it and teach yourself how to do it. * Barry Schwartz, author of Practical Wisdom and Why We Work *
In this intelligent and useful book, Wendy Mogel explains how the tenor of your remarks may make as much difference as their content. In accessible terms, she shows how minor adjustments may help lower the inherent tension of parent-child relationships. * Andrew Solomon, bestselling author of Far From the Tree *
For all parents who have heard themselves yell when they meant to simply question, or have clammed up when they meant to be curious (and that, of course, is all of us) here's your new bible. With her trademark deep empathy, Mogel once again is absolutely on point as she challenges parents to talk to their children compassionately, and to listen a whole lot more. How lovely to hear her sage voice in these pages. * Madeline Levine, PhD., author of The Price of Privilege *
Read this book if you've ever asked your daughter, 'Are you sure you want to wear that?' ... I'm not saying Wendy Mogel spied on my family to research her new book. But I'm not sure she didn't. * Heidi Stevens, Chicago Tribune *
