ADVANCE PRAISE FOR COOL CALM AND CONNECTED (FORMERLY PASSIONATE  PARENTING:)

 “One of the most user-friendly, practical and engaging guides to parenting books I’ve ever come across. Susan Stiffelman speaks from the trenches of day-to-day parenting life, and offers an array of tools that are sure to change the lives of parents who apply her teachings. Bravo for Passionate Parenting!”
Janet Bray Attwood, co-author of the NY Times bestseller The Passion Test

“Passionate Parenting provides wise and creative ways for parents to offer their best inner gifts to their children. Equally vital, Susan teaches you how to skillfully support your children in developing their own unique talents and gifts in such a way that both you and they will experience a rich, satisfying relationship for a lifetime.”
Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder of Agape International Spiritual Center

“Susan Stiffelman makes parenting easier by bringing much needed support and guidance to help parents stay deeply connected with their kids. Susan is full of heart and soul but firmly grounded in commonsense understanding.”
John Gray, author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

“The parenting bookshelf is full of advice on how to control kids, how to handle problems, how to survive the trauma of parenting. This book is different. Very different. It’s about how to let children develop their natural birthright of joy and passion. Not by letting them run wild, but by connecting with them and by concentrating on the heart of parenting—the emotional life of your child (and yourself).”
Lawrence Cohen, author of Playful Parenting

“Susan’s work is brilliant. Passionate Parenting covers every aspect of helping right-brained kids grow up feeling great about themselves. If you buy just one parenting book this year, make it this one!”
Thom Hartmann, author of Healing ADD and The Einstein Gene

“Susan is this generation’s Dr. Spock. Children don’t come with operating instructions, but Passionate Parenting gives solid advice and strategies for raising happy vibrant children. It is a must-read for parents who want to give their children the very best childhood in a very busy world.”
Pamela Conley Ulich, mayor of the City of Malibu

• How to help kids deal with frustration and find their way to the all-important life skill of Adapting: Why it’s important that children experience frustration, and essential that we help them avoid aggression by learning to adapt when life doesn’t go their way

• How to deal with behavior problems by focusing on the relationship: The importance of understanding that we’re meant to resist those we’re not connect to...and do the bidding of those we’re attached to

• Helping children and teens deal with problems with focus, impulsivity and organization:  Myths and realities of the ADD label, and strategies for helping these right-brained kids succeed in a left-brained world

• How to find your cool when you’ve temporarily lost it:  Parenting without escalating threats, hysteria or the general feeling that you’ve utterly lost control

• The stages of attachment:  How to parent from close connection and ‘right relationship’ to awaken your child’s natural instincts to follow, cooperate and behave

• How to connect— or reconnect— with a child or teen who’s resistant, disconnected or shut down:  It’s never too late, and much more doable than many parents believe

• Helping children and adults who struggle with depression and anxiety:  Specific techniques that parents can use to help kids who struggle with mood instabilities
