How do we keep our kids close while cultivating the confidence they’ll need to grow up? How do we navigate the inevitable dips, divides, and potholes? Where do we find the strength, self-awareness, and wisdom that amount to a path forward?

As a parent, you want the best for your child, and one of your greatest hopes is that your child will grow up to be a good person. So, what makes a good person?

ADHD is an attention disorder that if not managed right can become a real problem - for the individual, family, and school - with discomforts and frustration at school and personal level. Very often, the first to suffer from this situation are discouraged and stressed parents because they feel guilty and unable to manage the child's behavior.

She proposes a powerful new and universal parenting model: the intelligent, strong, joyful, and highly social dolphin.
