"As a pediatrician, I have seen the good, the bad, and, unfortunately the ugly regarding parenting techniques and child behavior. I have also seen firsthand the successful results of Diana's techniques with my patients. In Parenting with a Purpose, Diana provides workable blueprint to help parents raise well-behaved, confident children., who would make any parent proud. I highly recommend this collection as a valuable parenting resource."
-Dr. Larry Handwork, Pediatrician, Akron Children's Hospital
"I love it! I have seen first hand how Diana's positive strategies improve children't behaviors and impact an entire family. She facilitated parenting groups for Valley Pediatrics for more than eight years, helping many parents address and remediate their behavioral concerns. I continue to refer families for whenever they are looking for answers, and now, I can also tell them to buy the book!" -Dr. Irene Shevelev, Pediatrician
"Diana provides useful and practical information that produce positive results. She writes about a nurturing, positive approach that includes making gentle physical contact to gain a child's attention prior to attempting behavior remediation. Her suggestions help parents feel more capable in their interactions with their children. This empowerment can lead to an improved parent/child relationship, improved communication, and a reduction of acting-out behaviors. Diana also includes her personal experiences as a single parent raising her three children, which helps readers know that she has "walked the walk". Her personal disclosures, coupled with her formal graduate training, make Parenting with a Purpose a must-read for all those with children." -Randi Motz, MA, M.Ed., LPCC-S
"Parenting with a Purpose is a well-organized compilation of parenting advice in a clear, concise format that is easy to read and follow. Diana's gift of writing not only gives the reader sound child development techniques, but also provides her own personal experiences in this practical parenting handbook. I highly recommend this book to both parents and teachers."
-Suzanne Griffiths, Fourty-two years in the field of Early Childhood as a Speaker, Trainer and Nursery School Director
"Diana Boggia has compiled a parenting gem! She offers clear information, valuable resources, and honest opinions on topics ranging from potty training through handling the holidays to dealing with bullying. Her working knowledge of child development and family issues, coupled with her personal parenting experience, makes her writing simultaneously authoritative and warmly supportive. In addition, despite tackling difficult or painful issues, she is solution focused and optimistic about what parents can accomplish with love and consistency. This book is truly a valuable resource for any parent." -Bobbi L. Beale, PsyD, Clinical Psychologist
"As a mother of two young children, I have found the information in Parenting with a Purpose to be easy to read, easy to apply, straightforward, hands-on, and seasoned with personal experience and humor. Whenever I have a question about my daughters, I know I can find a simple, effective answer in these pages. I love it!" -Tricia Dever, former Special Education Teacher and mother of two under four.
"Diana's insight and wisdom on the issues that parents face today is a tremendous resource. Grandparents, buy this book and give it to your children. It works!" -Dick and Judy Hickman, Grandparents
"The information within each chapter can easily be used as a guide to spark conversation and provide direction for a weekly mom's support group." Danette Lund, M.Ed., Director of Programs and Services, Early Childhood Resource Center.
"Raising a toddler has been the hardest thing I've ever done. I'll take covering a hurricane over battling with my two-year-old any day. I'm physically and emotionally worn out every night, so finding time to read a book on parenting is a luxury. Worse yet, every book I pick up for advice is too wordy and complicated and frankly, not at all helpful. Every book, that is, until this one. Finally, here is an easy-to-read book with great, simple advice. I marvel that the seemingly tiny changers that Boggiarecommends have made life with my little ones so much better for us all. Instead of yelling, I spend my days laughing with my well-behaved kids. How wonderful is that!" -Melinda Murphy, Former CBS Television Newscaster and now mother of two under three.
