I have written two booklets on communication skills:

Validating Feelings: Helping People Feel Understood

This technique, simple in theory, but challenging to master, has been a profound help to me in maintaining healthy relationships with everyone I know.  We are all so hungry to feel understood.  If only we could be better at satisfying that hunger for each other.

Setting Limits with Young Children

The most challenging thing for most parents is setting limits with firmness, compassion, and consistency.  This booklet outlines a valuable formula for success in this process.  You will use what you learn here over and over again.

These booklets are available for $1.50 each (includes postage).  To receive copies please mail a check and indicate which title(s) you are requesting.  Send mail to me at 911 Center St. Suite C, Santa Cruz, CA 95060.

I have also written eighty articles on parenting over the seven years I served as a monthly columnist for parenting magazines in Santa Cruz, Marin and Sonoma counties.  Contact me by email if you are looking for an article on a particular topic.  I may be able to retrieve something for you from the archives
