Nicholas A. ★★★★★

I've been reading a chapter each night before my classroom shift, and the strategies are so practical that I tried one the very next morning. The way it frames children as the starting point for family relationships really shifted how I approach my parent conferences.

Ellie ★★★★★

The chapter on using children's interests as the starting point for family conversations finally gave me a concrete way to break the ice with hesitant parents, and the simple strategy examples are ready to use at my next home visit. I've already flagged three pages to share with my co-teacher.

Stella ★★★★★

I was a little worried this would be too academic, but the simple strategies are laid out so clearly I started using them the very next day. The focus on making children the center of family engagement really changed how I approach parent communication.
