“Added ease and happiness”

news & reviews about The Winning Family

“This wise book is the fruit of a collaboration between mother and daughter! That alone speaks volumes–that these healthy, positive, research-based parenting strategies work across time and generations! Easy to read, well-organized, inspiring, and practical. Get it! It will mean added ease and happiness for you, your family, and the world!!” —Lucia E. Pugnali, Amazon reviewer

In her Fall newsletter, Dr. Hart writes:

We had a wonderful, easy book launch at the local library and park. It was great to be together with friends and family and celebrate our long journey together, which my daughter and collaborator Kristen wrote about so elegantly in her blog, “A Family Business—and a Legacy.” A former client and longtime friend even flew out from Colorado to talk about how this book changed his life—and his children’s, and his grandchildren’s. I even played the kazoo! Here are some photos:
