• SBParent.com gave the book a great review in July 2010:
  
  This book is a quick read with a lot of helpful reminders of how as parents we can help our children with better communication. The chapter on Tools for Teaching Social and Emotional Thinking Skills was especially insightful since many parents struggle watching their kids go through the day to day challenges with peers. Maria walks parents through the process and gives parents and kids easy step by step tools to use in their day to day interactions.

• And look what Positive Parenting's Deborah Fox wrote in a five-star review of the book on Amazon:
  
  I've been teaching parenting for 17 years and it's not often that a new parenting book really catches my attention. This gem however, did, and I highly recommend it to parents. Written in a parent-friendly style, you will find the information inspiring, motivating and best of all...PRACTICAL. There are tools for teaching thinking in general, and then several sections on teaching different types of thinking skills. Each tip is only 1-2 pages, so it's easy to use and parents won't get overwhelmed.
