Book Description
Every parent would happily give up ever scolding, punishing or threatening if she only knew how to ensure that her toddler/child/teen would thrive and act responsibly without such painful measures. Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves is the answer to this universal wish. It is not about gentle ways to control a child, but about a way of being and of understanding a child so she/he can be the best of herself, not because she fears you, but because she wants to, of her own free will.

"Aldort’s book should be on the must read list of all Moms and Dads. This book could carry a subtitle: "Saving the Emotional Lives of Our Children and The Future of Humanity.""

"Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves operates on the radical premise that neither child nor parent must dominate; it is for those who want to give up scolding, threatening and punishing. Her SALVE "formula" alone is worth the price of the book." - Peggy O'Mara Editor and Publisher of Mothering

"Every once in awhile, a writer comes along who is comfortable speaking the truth, no matter how much it might challenge us or make us uncomfortable. Naomi Aldort is one of those people. In Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves, Naomi Aldort takes the struggle out of parenting and replaces controlling and shaping style of parenting with one that values, trusts and nurtures children's innate abilities and autonomy."

- Wendy Priesnitz Editor of Life Learning magazine, author of School Free and Challenging Assumptions in Education

"In this stunning insight into human nature, Naomi Aldort opens a window into harmonious family living. This book should to be widely read and not just by parents but by every being who strives for a more peaceful world."

- Veronika Robinson, Editor of The Mother magazine, UK

Editorial Reviews
Gael Greene; Contributing Editor, New York Magazine; Author, Insatiable: Tales From A Life of Delicious Excess
Even if it is still moving, Harry Rolnick will taste it. Fearless, he is Supermouth to Anthony Bourdain?s modest appetites. This punny memoir of exotic eating in unlikely places is full of Pepto-Bismal antics

Stan Sesser; Former restaurant critic San Francisco Chronicle; Author, The Lands Of Charm And Cruelty: Travels In Southeast Asia
As addictive as the food that Harry Rolnick describes. Great food-writing requires a sense of humor, and Rolnick leavens every page with hilarious conversations and outrageous puns. His are the observations of one who never met a country whose pretensions he couldn?t deflate with the prick of pen or chopstick. I couldn?t stop laughing.

Review
Bob Mayer's life is an exciting path of true entrepreneurship success. I read with pleasure Bob's personal stories of real estate deals, Vegas connections and high flying hilarity. I had a front-row seat throughout this transformation from the sleepy oil town of laid-back surfers at Golden Bear to a vibrant Huntington Beach made possible through Bob's vision and perseverance. --Jim Silva

It takes a special kind of person to triumph over the bureaucratic barricades, ego-driven decision making, and unpredictable market forces that make or break entrepreneurs. Bob Mayer did that and kept his sense of humor while doing it. His book offers fasinating insights into his business success, even including his dreams and nightmares the night before a big deal. He shows his agony and his elation. Most of all, he shares his positive spirit that is so evident in all he has done. --Dana Rohrabacher
