“Dr. Paul Sunseri’s Gentle Parenting Reimagined is not just an immensely practical guide, it is also true in recognizing the value of ‘relationship first’ amidst the challenges facing parents today. Through decades of professional experience, he has a deep understanding of the most challenging behaviors that led him to develop the strategies that have shown to yield results. Finally, a book that understands the parenting experience at the core, reignites hope for change, and promotes deeper connection with our kids and teens”. Mallory Eastman, LMFT “Our family was in a very dark place with our 14-year-old daughter. We tried so many avenues for help, but nothing worked to bring our family together and into the light. The techniques outlined in Dr. Sunseri’s book brought sunshine, hopefulness, control, and, most importantly, laughter back into our lives. It's difficult and may even get more challenging for a while, but if you do the work and stay open and consistent with these strategies, positive changes will begin with your child and your relationship with them. I got my beautiful, funny, intelligent, strong, loving daughter back.” Christi S., Parent “Our 12-year-old son was out of control and exhibited pretty much every behavior described in this book. We were at a total loss as to how to help him and life at home was incredibly overwhelming and stressful. Dr. Sunseri taught us each of the interventions outlined in this book, and by finding the right balance between love and accountability, we began to see almost immediate results that were life-changing for us. It was hard work for me to change my approach to our son but that was the key all along. Dr. Sunseri is a master at behavior change and because of these techniques we now can envision a bright future for our son and our family.” Debbie K., Parent
