About Pocket Parent
A companion app to the best selling book, How To Talk So LITTLE Kids Will Listen, by Joanna Faber and Julie King.
Are you worn out by sibling strife, bedtime battles, food fights, and clean up conflicts? Are you tired of tantrums and meltdowns? Do you wish you had a button to press that would make kids just behave? We provide the buttons! Users choose from the following categories and click through questions that guide them to instant tips and advice.
* I want to help my child with difficult feelings
* I want my child to do something (or stop doing something)
* I need some alternatives to punishment
* I want to encourage my child
* Help! My kids are fighting!
When you're deep in the trenches with no time to think, this app will help you pull through. Whether your child is terrified of the neighbor’s toothless toy poodle, reluctant to brush his teeth, angry because she can’t play with your smartphone in the bathtub, or punching his brother in the stomach, you will find creative, effective, sometimes humorous solutions, with concrete examples and dialog to help you through the crisis.

Great supplementary aid for the book - for use in "field" conditions. Loved it.
Bought it! Better than the book.
Good Parenting in Flow Chart Form! Perfect for when good parenting isn't coming natural to you in the moment...
I read the book and have been taking notes but this app is so handy and these things actually work. I am a parent of a very violent 5 year old boy and this is helping. Navigation so easy and simple. I can find the solution to my problem very quickly and it even references to pages in the book if you want to read mor...
This app is worth every penny. I have not read the book, but I plan on doing so in the future. It is a helpful app to new and seasoned gentle parents alike. I am still learning how to gently teach my kids, so this comes in handy.
I purchased this since I thought it was a great app but now it keeps asking me to unlock the full version and when I do it says I own the item already. ETA thank you, your advice worked!!
