New Mom...

The advice is reassuring and gives me the courage to learn more about the ideas proposed.

Excellent advice and empathy

Wonderful way to remain mindful while interacting with your children or the children of others. Also a great reminder to love yourself for who you are.

Wisdom

Great book! I cried several times while his words healed my soul, so many things about childhood resonated. This is a great reading if you haven't healed childhood traumas or if you are new parent, or a parent...period! His voice is calming and the pace allows you to absorb the teachings, slow but sure. I will listen again!

Do you want to know how to raise your kid?

It's a reminder of the important of our feelings, I know it talks about Kids but it made me cry. It has the answer to your questions and examples of phrases. It's short but powerful.

Mister Rogers is Life!

I have read hundreds of books. Absolutely nothing tops the teachings of Mister Rogers. To hear his read this is diabolical. It’s perfect.
