Parenting as a Second Language: A Guidebook for Joyfully Navigating the Trials, Triumphs and Tribulations of Parenthood

Everyone knows they'll be the perfect parent – until the kids come along!

Award-winning parenting coach, Elisabeth Stitt, has been through it all: diapers, terrible twos, rebellious teenage years, step-children, saying goodbye as they leave home, and still being their mom long after they launch into adulthood. She knows parenting IS hard work, but it can also be a ton of FUN, and she helps you learn the strategies and skills you need to bring harmony, calm and joyful parenting into your home.

With this book as your guide, you will learn:

• How to support your kids through whatever challenges they face
• How to be empathetic and still keep limits and maintain boundaries
• How to move your kids towards being responsible, independent adults
• How to find your parenting voice, so you can parent with calm and confidence, every time

Humans expect ourselves to be great parents – naturally!

Many parents feel guilty that they are "bad parents," and when they find themselves struggling, they fear that they are unfit, and that somehow they don't have the innate ability that they should have to be good parents.
This is so sad!

Parenting is NOT an innate skill.

You weren’t born with that skill any more than with the ability to speak your family’s native language. Before you became fluent, you had to learn it: one word at a time and with a lot of repetition.

You learn how to parent the same way -- one lesson at a time, through practice and trial-and-error. And error. And error.

Which is why every parent, at any stage of their child’s development, needs Parenting as a Second Language, A Guidebook for Joyfully Navigating the Trials, Triumphs and Tribulations of Parenthood.

This book is the first step in your journey towards becoming the amazing parent you always knew you’d be.
Some of the work may seem hard, but get your copy now and you can be fluent in Parenting before you know it.
