Wow. This is the book I've been waiting for! "Listen" captures the heart and soul of Patty Wipfler's groundbreaking work with parents and families. This remarkable book describes the tools of Parenting by Connection with clarity, and then applies them with thoughtfulness and compassion to the real struggles of parents. I am thrilled about "Listen" for the thousands of people who--like me--have had a taste of these ideas already and have been itching for this book. I'm even more thrilled for those of you who are discovering these tools for the first time. You are in for an incredibly rewarding adventure.

The book is wonderful in every way-- and that is very rare. I believe this book is going to be a blessing for everyone who picks it up, not only parents. Just this weekend I pointed a couple of dads toward Hand in Hand Parenting, as I have so many other parents. Thank heavens this book is finally going to be available!

What People Are Saying...
"I have applied the techniques Patty Wipfler developed and found my paradigms of thought changed in tandem with my parenting experience. I am a better parent all around. My child is flourishing within the circle of empathy I provide, the non-judgemental allowance of emotional expression, and the commitment we exercise daily to connect playfully and honestly. Thank you." ~ Marni Lynn Ager, a parent
