"Isn't it time for a parenting book that is practical and relatable? Destini Ann Davis is a working mom and parenting coach who read dozens of parenting books and made all the typical parenting mistakes before realizing that in order to have a peaceful, positive relationship with her children, she first needed to have a peaceful, positive relationship with herself. Very Intentional Parenting features a fresh, down-to-earth approach to parenting from someone you can relate to. Through real-life examples from her experiences as a mom and parenting coach, she gives readers actionable strategies for tackling many of today's most challenging parenting scenarios using positive discipline techniques, effective communication, and emotional intelligence. She'll encourage you, coach you, and help you become the parent you've always desired to be. If you're a parent looking for more connection and collaboration in your relationship with your child, you've come to the right place. "--Amazon. |
