The 17 Positive Parenting Tools really helped me reflect on my current parenting, and I immediately realized that I am missing opportunities to be more positive as a parent. In just one or two days of using these exercises, I have already made valuable changes in my parenting! The tools are really clear and succinct and all exercises are easy to follow and implement.

Many parents are struggling to find new and insightful solutions to repairing their relationships with their children and seeing their children attain their whole SHINE (Skills (learned), hobbies, interests, natural abilities, and energized activities). I feel confident in saying that these tools are definitely valuable for client-therapist settings.

Another amazing product by PositivePsychology.com! As a school director and a parent myself, there have been many times when proactive parents want to take their children’s development home but are unable to do so because of a lack of tools. As always PP.com delivers! Highly recommend it for parents and coaches who work with parents and child development.

The materials are very well and clearly written and are easy to follow for a non-professional in the field. I love the fact that it covers more than just the verbal parts, as there is so much more that one can do without using words. I also love that it teaches how to change patterns in a family (how kids can set boundaries and how to allow them to do so). The tools teach parents to take time to reflect on their experiences and cherish the good moments!
