Yay! Two Awards!!
Guess what, guys! My latest two books were among the three winners of the National Parenting Center's Seal of Approval 2004! I suppose I should grovel before my editors and kiss their feet, but I already have scars on my knees from cleaning the kitchen grout with muriatic acid, so...maybe not. You can go to www.tnpc.com to check it out. If you're too lazy or uninspired, here's how the reviews read:

Seal of Approval Winners Fall '04
Hearing is Believing
by Elisa Medhus, MD
New World Library
Based on the reviews from our parent testers, there may be no more important parenting book on the market today. Dr. Medhus offers a remarkably insightful guide to parenting. Understanding the power of the words we use when we speak to and around our children should be a clarion call to all parents. How we communicate with our children can and does ultimately define how they see themselves. Dr. Medhus lays out her case with perfect clarity, offering practical advice and a nice blend of humor. The critical lesson here is that so many common phrases that we all use can inadvertently send the wrong message while positive, non-judgmental phrases are both uplifting and powerful.
Raising Everyday Heroes
by Elisa Medhus, MD
Simple and yet wonderfully written, Dr. Medhus does a remarkable job of hooking and holding onto her reader’s attention. The key to her success is that each page is filled with practical strategies for helping children become confident and self-reliant. Testers felt empowered after reading it. They mentioned the author's warmth, wisdom, understanding and humor while giving this book exceptionally high marks. Her well crafted views and recommendations for teaching and motivating today's children to be tomorrow's self reliant adults make this book a must for all parents who wish to be effective in their efforts to raise good, strong and ultimately successful children.
