In a unique context of sports quotations, fun, and facts, Pocket Coach to Parenthood is a parent's personal "coach", dispensing wisdom on raising children, giving pep talks when they're in a slump, and teaching them how to deal with problems before they ever arise -- kind of like a parenting "spring-training". Supported by the encouraging words of Tommy Lasorda, Joe Torre, Babe Ruth, John Madden, Knute Rockne, and hundreds of other stars and coaches, the text inspires and guides parents to improve their play with their children. Chapters, from "WarmUp" to "Playing in the Higher League", reveal a step-by-step game plan for attaining success as a parent and in the game of life. Pocket Coach to Parenthood creates a model for busy parents that they can actually use. -- "Parenthood is as demanding a sport as football, hockey or baseball, but all too often mothers and fathers come into the game entirely unprepared for the task of 'coaching' a brand new human from infancy to adulthood. What the parents need is a good coach. Such... can be found in... Pocket Coach To Parenthood", -- Andrea Estrada, The Working Parent, August 1997

The Pocket Adoption Coach is a woman’s personal tale of becoming a mother. With candour and heart, Michele Hengen invites us along on the journey of highs and lows that tracked her family’s evolution from aching couple to five-person glory, courtesy of an adoption of a little girl from Ukraine and a double adoption from a Canadian twin pregnancy. At numerous points along the way, the author was told that their plans could not be realized. But by developing a clear vision and keeping it in sight, she and her husband were at last able to realize their goal. Here, she shares the life lessons she picked up along the way, lessons that transcend the particulars of their adoptions and are applicable to anyone setting out along this rewarding—and often bewildering—path.

Real-Time Parenting is the antidote to our comparison culture. Parents increase self-awareness and develop trust in themselves by taking inventory of their personality, values, and past experiences. They craft a unique vision for their family and choose action steps to meet their children's needs in the heat of everyday moments. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting. Real-Time Parenting is written by three parent coaches who understand the demands of parenthood and empower moms and dads to discover their personal best. Through stories and practice, they respond to their family with intention instead of reacting from stress. They build self-confidence as they embrace a positive mindset, celebrate wins, and engage with a supportive community. Referencing well-known experts and professional experience, Real-Time Parenting presents a versatile toolkit of ten best practices based in positive communication, effective discipline, and problem-solving. Parents become influential guides for their unique children through teaching, modeling, and setting healthy boundaries. They focus on connection and encouraging "do" behaviors instead of trying to control their children. Moms and dads realize it is never too late to improve the parent-child relationship. Parents propel their children toward healthy independence and find renewed joy in real time.

Preparing meals together, playing favorite games, and sharing other family traditions are all hygge. (Cell phones, bickering, and complaining are not!) With illuminating examples and simple yet powerful advice, The Danish Way of Parenting will help parents from all walks of life raise the happiest, most well-adjusted kids in the world.
