threatening if she only knew how to ensure that her toddler/child/teen
would thrive and act responsibly without such painful measures. Raising Our
Children, Raising Ourselves is the answer to this universal wish. It is not
about gentle ways to control a child, but about a way of being and of
understanding a child so she/he can be the best of herself, not because she
fears you, but because she wants to, of her own free will.
"Aldort's book should be on the must read list of all Moms and Dads. This
book could carry a subtitle: "Saving the Emotional Lives of Our Children
and The Future of Humanity.""
- James Prescott, Ph.D. Institute of Humanistic Science
"Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves operates on the radical premise
that neither child nor parent must dominate; it is for those who want to
give up scolding, threatening and punishing. Her SALVE "formula" alone is
worth the price of the book." - Peggy O'Mara Editor and Publisher of
Mothering
"Every once in awhile, a writer comes along who is comfortable speaking the
truth, no matter how much it might challenge us or make us uncomfortable.
Naomi Aldort is one of those people. In Raising Our Children, Raising
Ourselves, Naomi Aldort takes the struggle out of parenting and replaces
controlling and shaping style of parenting with one that values, trusts and
nurtures children's innate abilities and autonomy."
- Wendy Priesnitz Editor of Life Learning magazine, author of School Free
and Challenging Assumptions in Education
"In this stunning insight into human nature, Naomi Aldort opens a window
into harmonious family living. This book should to be widely read and not
just by parents but by every being who strives for a more peaceful world."
- Veronika Robinson, Editor of The Mother magazine, UK
