Parenting Toward Solutions

This is an excellent resource for parents. I have bought several copies for my therapy practice. The original version for counselors in a spiral-ring binder was easier to use as a workbook and to photocopy worksheets, etc. The quality of this publication (binding, etc.) is my only complaint.

This is a wonderful book for parents.

Within the strengths-based approach to working with people we have understood that the most important factor in client change is the client and what they bring to counseling. This book is for them. Linda writes in a clear and concise way about hundreds of ways parents can use their own resources to positively impact their relationship with their children. As in her earlier books for teachers, she includes sample certificates and forms that parents can use to focus and document their progress. This book is a great resource for parents who want to stay positively involved with their children's growth and development. I highly recommend it.
