What others have said:
“To title a book Parenting Without Power Struggles is not only courageous but perhaps shocking to most parents. However, Susan is serious about the possibility and shows us how to do it. Full of wise insights and effective strategies, this book should be required reading for all parents." ~Harville Hendrix, Ph. D. author of Giving the Love that Heals: A Guide for Parents
“Susan is one the most gifted and insightful family therapists I have ever come across and my only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner! I couldn’t recommend Parenting Without Power Struggles more highly. It’s the new parenting bible in my house!” ~Laurie David, author of The Family Dinner and co-producer of An Inconvenient Truth
“Susan Stiffelman, who has double standing to give parenting advice, as a professional therapist and as the mother of an exceptional son, has hit the nail on the head twice over -- unnecessary and avoidable power struggles are *the* issue more parents struggle with than any other, and her book is filled with practical, real-world ways to minimize the fights and maximize the love.”--Kurt Andersen, novelist and host of public radio's Studio 360
“Susan’s work is brilliant. Parenting Without Power Struggles covers every aspect of helping right-brained kids grow up feeling great about themselves. If you buy just one parenting book this year, make it this one!” ~Thom Hartmann, author of Healing ADD and The Einstein Gene
“Susan Stiffelman makes parenting easier by bringing much needed support and guidance to help parents stay deeply connected with their kids. Susan is full of heart and soul but firmly grounded in commonsense understanding.” ~John Gray, author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

"Susan's book, Parenting Without Power Struggles is one of the wisest and most genuinely useful books I've ever seen about one of the most challenging of all life's mysteries." ~Gay Hendricks, Ph.D., Author of The Big Leap
"In Parenting Without Power Struggles: Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids While Staying Cool, Calm and Connected, mother and family therapist Susan Stiffelman outlines her down-to-earth, highly practical, nonjudgmental approach to discipline, based on a savvy combination of attachment-parenting theory and spiritual teacher Byron Katie's The Work. The book is a gem." ~Mothering Magazine review
"Susan is a fount of common sense, insight and support...I wouldn't hesitate to ask her about almost any issue, because I know I'd get a kind, thoughtful and often piercingly brilliant response -- and always without making me feel dumb. She is a diamond." Lenore Skenazy, author of Free-Range Kids, Giving Our Children the Freedom We Had Without Going Nuts with Worry
"A beautiful helpful book to educate parents about excellent communication skills and developing compassion." Judith Orloff MD, Bestselling Author, Emotional Freedom
