על הספר
המדריך לאימון הורים הוא מודל עבודה, המעביר את ההורה המתאמן מהשלב האינטואיטיבי, הדרך שבה ההורה פועל בדרך כלל ("הטייס האוטומטי"), לשלב שבו הוא מנתח כיצד הוא פועל באופן קוגניטיבי; נותן שם למה שהוא מרגיש וחושב ומפרק לשלבים את הדרך שהוא עובר. במסגרת התהליך לומד ההורה המתאמן להרחיב את יכולת ההתבוננות שלו, להבין ולהרגיש באופן מדויק יותר את התנסויותיו וחוויותיו ולהציב לעצמו יעדים בני השגה. חלק חשוב בלמידה נוגע ליכולתו של ההורה ליישם את סגנון החשיבה שרכש באימון לסיטואציות חדשות ונוספות בחייו ולראות אפילו בהצלחה קטנה הזדמנות להתנעה של הצלחות נוספות. אימון ההורים מזמן מסע חדש ומאתגר במסלול שההורה וילדו טרם צעדו בו.
