Review excerpt: "This is a book that could revolutionize both the way we treat children in our homes and schools, and the way children accept and put into practice taking responsibility for their own actions. It's a book that makes me want to stand up and cheer on just about every page...Marnie Agnew, KUCA News, Editor

“Written with both simple logic and soaring imagination, it is a graceful new approach to the age old world of parenting. The book is a refreshing look at possibilities of achieving self improvement in the midst of attempting to improve our children and our relationships with them. 

As a mom, I have had the opportunity to read several books on parenting. Many are helpful, but it is often hard to swallow some of the less than practical information.

With Maggie’s book, I was filled with a, first ever, excitement that made the book almost impossible to put down. It was delightfully honest, extremely practical and always inspiring. Maggie’s humble, honest approach to helping parents really enjoy the journey of parenting was a delight.” Michele Houlihan

9 Ways is written for parents but any teacher or worker with children could benefit hugely from reading it. This is a book that could revolutionize both the way we treat children in our homes and schools, and the way children accept and put into practice taking responsibility for their own actions. It’s a book that makes me want to stand up and cheer on just about every page.

Maggie Reigh takes the view that parenting is not about controlling children and exercising power over them, but about empowering both parent and child.  It’s about turning power struggles into powerful relationships, about creating rather than reacting, by shifting our perceptions and asking and listening rather than judging and correcting.
