“Dr. Christine Carter’s work is being practiced in a variety of contexts — therapy, learning curriculum, positive psychology research, neuropsychological research, etc. This type of thing is in its infancy and I believe it will take off soon. My hope is that the more familiar we become with these kinds of concepts, the better we will be able to integrate them on a variety of levels as these fruits of this research blossom into evidence-based programs and ideas!”

The research, stories, and media you presented, confirmed, without question, the importance of deliberate parenting choices for happy children and a happy family.

Thank you for the inspiration and motivation!”
