“Sheila, I tried out what you said to do with toddlers and feelings this week. It totally worked! I have seen such a change in how Jackson tantrums and bites. Meaning, he is doing it less as I help him with his feelings and talking about feelings. I am amazed that a kindness presentation could help me so much.”
– Jana Johnson, Mom of 3 in Boston
“So, I have really been thinking about what you said about just trying to do this for 10 minutes a day. And, I tried it. I really went in thinking it wouldn’t work. I was wrong. Now, I am not saying we don’t squabble anymore. But, we are arguing less and I am seeing a change. Thank you for surprising me!”
– Kristi, Mom of 4 in Tennessee
“I read One Smile with my son last night. This afternoon, his preschool teacher came up to me and asked me about the book. Evidently, in circle time, he got the whole class talking about kindness and they each tried to do something kind for one another that morning. How simple but powerful! I am going to look for the other books you recommended!”
– Monique Brown, Mom of 2 in Texas
