Online Reviews:

“Concise, helpful, and practical. It is short, more of a booklet rather than a book, but offers so much helpful information that I think any parent could benefit.”
—Online reviewer

“The book is short . . . clearly describes the application of the Nonviolent Communication technique to communicate, motivate, and develop mutually empathic relationship with your child. It is a win-win relationship where the feelings and the needs of both the child and the adult are met without the use of the emotional blackmail of shame, guilt, blame, or rewards. . . . Incorporating this simple but powerful method of communication between a child and a parent allows the child to develop self-motivation, the ability to express feelings and needs, and empathetically connect to self and others even in an emotionally charged environment.”
—Online reviewer

“In this powerful and practical little book, that every parent has time to read, Inbal Kashtan teaches us ‘another way’ by brilliantly applying the practice of Nonviolent Communication to the everyday parenting struggles that tempt us to resort to coercion. I recommend Parenting From Your Heart to all parents who are striving to move from parenting through coercion and fear to parenting through love and connection.”
—Online reviewer

“This tiny book has the potential to bring forth world peace. . . . if only every parent read this! It teaches parents to connect with their children with love and compassion. Nonviolent Communication is the ONLY way to save the world and provide hope for peace.
—Online reviewer
