I always wished there was a follow up book I could ask families to read that would help them make the method work more easily, in their daily lives. I kept looking for a book like that and in the meantime created my own materials for families that included things from many different sources to try to help them be successful.

About a year and a half ago I decided I should write a book like this for parents so there was one out there, even if no one read it except the families in my own studio.

I certainly didn't have all the answers but I set out to interview experts, read current research and combine that with my own experience teaching and working with families so that I could put together a helpful resource. I hope that teachers can use it as a starting point for good discussions with families they work with, and can add their own experiences and ideas to the conversation. (less)
