Advance Praise for Susan's Upcoming Book, Cool, Calm and Connected:

“One of the most user-friendly, practical and engaging guides to parenting books I’ve ever come across. Susan Stiffelman speaks from the trenches of day-to-day parenting life, and offers an array of tools that are sure to change the lives of parents who apply her teachings. Bravo for Cool, Calm and Connected!”
Janet Bray Attwood, co-author of the NY Times bestseller The Passion Test

“Cool, Calm and Connected provides wise and creative ways for parents to offer their best inner gifts to their children. Equally vital, Susan teaches you how to skillfully support your children in developing their own unique talents and gifts in such a way that both you and they will experience a rich, satisfying relationship for a lifetime.”
Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder of Agape International Spiritual Center

“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

“The parenting bookshelf is full of advice on how to control kids, how to handle problems, how to survive the trauma of parenting. This book is different. Very different. It’s about how to let children develop their natural birthright of joy and passion. Not by letting them run wild, but by connecting with them and by concentrating on the heart of parenting—the emotional life of your child (and yourself).”
Lawrence Cohen, author of Playful Parenting

“Susan’s work is brilliant. Cool, Calm and Connected 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 is this generation’s Dr. Spock. Children don’t come with operating instructions, but Cool, Calm and Connected gives solid advice and strategies for raising happy vibrant children. It is a must-read for parents who want to give their children the very best childhood in a very busy world.”
Pamela Conley Ulich, Mayor of the City of Malibu
