"For parents there is a healthy sweet spot in between permissive and authoritarian extremes, and as a father of three adopted children I know first-hand how difficult it can be to stay in that zone. How do we do that specifically? It turns out that there are helpful clues in what we have learned from our 40 years of research developing the method of motivational interviewing. Thanks to the authors of The Listening Space this knowledge is now available in the first book on motivational parenting. It’s very readable, practical, and science-based guidance on listening well to our children." - William R. Miller, Ph.D. The University of New Mexico

“My daughter just had a hissy fit. I waited until she calmed down and used some of the strategies we discussed in Motivational Parent. EVERY SINGLE STATEMENT out of my mouth was a Fix-It. What an awakening!! After I adjusted the approach, we had an awesome conversation!”
