As a parent, she has struggled. She has been a helicopter parent, an explosive parent and an embarrassing parent. (Google "dancing mom in traffic" and see for yourself.) Because she has struggled as a parent, she wants to help other parents struggle...a little bit less Temperament psychology and qEEG brain maps, concluded that she and her daughter were complete opposites. Even with over twenty years of experience training both children and adults she was still desperately seeking a user manual that would explain how to get through to her daughter. It didn't exist. Over the last nine years, Gossett has combined extensive research with hundreds of family case studies to create the user manual she had been seeking. This book will help you accurately assess the temperament of each family member, "map" their brain functions and discover how to motivate them and connect with them throughout every stage of their development. It will also help you relax when you read about some of Gossett's own parenting pitfalls as well as the struggles and victories of other families similar to yours. In this "user manual" you will find:

Parenting is a TWO-WAY STREET "Understanding now how my daughter ticks has transformed our relationship and for the first time, we are connecting I am her teacher, but because of this book, I realize that she will be my teacher too. When my daughter is grown and we are (hopefully) friends, it will be in large part because of the information Wendy offers." Kira Dorrian, Parent Coach and Host of Future Focused Parenting
