MORE PARACHUTES FOR PARENTS
Raising Loved and Loving Children for a Joyful World ~ $19.95

Did you know you can easily raise your children without ever getting angry? There’s no such thing as a teen rebellion! And there is one simple step you can add to time-outs that will make them work like a charm! These are just a few of the tips you can learn from the Merrill’s Settle for More for your Children Program based on More Parachutes for Parents and The Rip Cord.

Whether you are living with a challenging child who sasses, deceives, tantrums and argues with you over their frequently broken boundaries—or if you have one who seems overly shy, has trouble with learning or making and keeping friends, it's critical that you help your child get onto a better path.

Yet, in spite of the seriousness of these and other parenting challenges, most people are more likely to purchase a sofa to decorate their home than invest in a parenting book or counseling session that could help them fill it with the kind of beauty found in harmony, kindness and joy. This happens because many don’t think a book or counselor will actually help, so cling to the hope that their child’s problems are “normal” or will magically go away. But they won’t and, in fact, most require intervention to stop them from getting worse.

The good news is that there is new hope for parents in the Merrills’ Settle for More for Your Children Program, based on two books that really do help. In fact, it will only take a few short weeks to turn your child’s problems around and head him or her in a new and wonderful direction if you follow the advice given in More Parachutes for Parents and The Rip Cord or in a parenting consultation with Bobbie Sandoz Merrill, MSW, and/or Dr. Tom Merrill or the two of them together. Their books and consultations will show you how to have anger-free, highly cooperative, and wonderfully harmonious and loving relationships with your children and teens.

More Parachutes for Parents is the “definitive book on parenting!” Endorsed by Marianne Williamson, Jean Houston, Jerry Jampolsky and John Gray, it sold out its first edition in the first month and made many bestseller lists under its original title of Parachutes for Parents. This early edition alsoreceived a coveted Library Journal review as well as other reviews and mentions from McCall’s Magazine, Ladies Home Journal, The LA Times, The Chicago Tribune, Detroit Morning News, Rutger’s University Peer Review, Bottom Line Personal, The Western Book Review and The Children’s Book Review.

Parents and educators not only describe Parachutes as “life-saving,” but an unexpected stimulus to enhanced intellectual and social learning for normal children, while others report challenging children learning to achieve impulse control and get calm in the absence of chemical intervention when the adults in their lives adopt the Parachutes for Parents approach to interacting with them.
