The One Minute Parent (Paperback)

Dana Minney gives a fresh approach to parenting in "The One Minute Parent, 2nd Edition". It is a very real and lively account of her life with her twin boys. She readily shares the coaching tools developed over years through her business and her study of Family Dynamics. It is an innovation in parenting, very simply, because it is the first time the benefits and the application of game theory in the home has been explained so clearly and powerfully! A very quick read, this book shows the three basic habits that make organizations successful and how to apply them to your family system. You will read stories and learn how to create more harmony, integrity and fun in your family dynamic. Plus, with the additional content (added to the first edition), you hear many more real life examples from families who have followed a coaching philosophy, or who have participated in Family Case Study Research offered through Dana's How to Coach Your Kids program. Please use and enjoy this book!

About Dana Minney has coached entrepreneurs, CEO's and high-level business people for the last 12 years. She helps teams and individuals accomplish more . . . with more fun . . . by improving how people think and relate to one another.

Dana has been raising her twin 9-year-old boys while she expands her coaching practice with the same tools she uses in her work. Now Dana is offering parent classes as well. Her skills didn't come from a book, but rather from the book of love that she shares with her boys. She explains her skills and methods in her recently published book, The One Minute Parent, and in her webinars and seminars on 'How to Coach Your Kids'. In her spare time, Dana has created a program at her sons' elementary school that encourages families to play and learn together about health. This program was recently written up in a national magazine as a model for family engagement and healthy lifestyles and was awarded a grant. You can reach Dana at Dana@danasmycoach.com.
