Parenting from the Top of the Mountain

John Emra takes the principles of Cornerstones and Core Needs of Growing Kids and applies them to the job of parenting. Experiences with his kids puts real-life stories and testimonials from parents illustrate the lessons learned from working with thousands of children at the Los Angeles Community Center. Relate to the stories and sometimes even enjoy the fact that you can see yourself as one of the main characters. Parents can choose to rise above the emotional entanglements that disrupt their journey on the parenting path. It is only from the proverbial mountaintop that they can see where they are going. This book shows parents how to use emotions wisely as they interact with their kids, and illustrates how poor choices can leave families struggling in the muck and the mire of the valley. Parents can choose to be released from the underbrush that makes life in the valley difficult and stay on the path they have chosen in order to raise great kids.
