Real-Time Parenting: Choose Your Action Steps for the Present Moment

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.
