I wasn’t able to download this one so wasn’t able to read and review. It sounded like something I would have enjoyed and got some great tips and advice from.

Thank you Quatro - Four Winds Publishing and Netgalley for an ARC of this book.

This book encourages opening up communication between your tweens and teens. It was an easy to read, engaging book with lots of conversation starters and reminders on the importance of strong communication.

I highly recommend and have purchased this book to refer back to regularly.

Fun book. It was a pleasure to read. .

Be a parent is not easy. This book helps to pass through and give the best of us. The approach is genuine and realistic with real life examples.

I keep this book at the dining room table and pull it out to inspire deeper and more meaningful conversation. As a family, we have traveled the world together for a year and covered many topics but this book is inspiring us to get to know each other and ask questions that we hadn't yet thought of. This is a wise and wonderful book.

This is more for older kids/teenagers. I’ll revisit this book once my kid is in that age bracket.
From what I could tell though, is that a lot of subjects about what teenagers could go through during those years are in this book.

A great book about parenting advice. Easy reading with practical advice.
Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author. All opinions are my own.

The Parenting Project is all about conversations. The authors focus on the belief that a deep, healthy, and authentic relationship with our kids will give them the tools and strength they need to be amazing and healthy adults. I agree! I love the conversation starter ideas. The questions they offer may seem tough if you aren’t used to having more intentional conversations with your kids, but I’m guessing it gets easier and easier the more practice you have.
Side note: this book doesn’t quite apply to my family YET. I have four young children and The Parenting Project focuses on preteens and teenagers. In the future, however, I’d like to come back and reference this book. Also, there may be some points that you disagree with (maybe a few for me) but those are easily looked over to see the big picture.

In a world full of many influences, The Parenting Project shows you how to become the main influencer in your child's life.
Are you losing the influence game with your children? If you want to direct your child's growth, then they need to get to know you. In The Parenting Project, parenting experts Dr. Amy Alamar and Dr. Kristine Schlichting show you how to speak with your children on a regular basis to gain their trust. In a time when your child has many things vying for their attention, you want to be the person they turn to the most for advice and comfort.
Sometimes it's difficult to speak with your children about serious subjects. That's why The Parenting Project teaches you how to make a habit of it, providing you with prompts to help start potentially difficult conversations across a broad range of subjects that apply to everyday life. The authors have divided these conversations into five categories to inform your approach--Heart-based, Difficult, Dangerous, Character, and Brave--because each type requires different strategies and "conversation starters."

This is the book I wish my parents had when I was growing up. It has so many tips on how to talk with your children instead of at them, which offers better communication. There were plenty of informative, engaging questions and responses to help you learn better communication with your kids. This book also offers different types of conversations you can try out and helps you with the more difficult conversations that will more than likely arise. With helpful tips and a guideline, you can't fail when it comes to better communication with your family.

This is not the kind of book I would read in until I've finished it, like a novel. Its the kind of book I will dip in and out of when I feel I need to. I have read the first chapter and already I have found it very informative and useful on how to engage with my children and how to react to questions I have asked. The book has good inspirational quotes and bright and colourful pages. I'm really looking forward to continuing this book and putting the sections into practice.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.
