Kids—just like adults—are a work in progress. Sometimes we place unfair expectations on our kids and their behavior, forgetting that they are still “under construction.” They are still piecing together the building blocks of emotional intelligence and responsibility, to name just a few of the skills they’ll need to lead happy lives. We hope our children will grow to be kind, well-adjusted, happy adults, but they need a strong foundation from a young age. In The CASTLE Method, Dr. Phil’s resident parenting expert Donna Tetreault outlines the CASTLE method, the tools you’ll need to build a strong foundation for your family: compassion, acceptance, security, trust, love, expectations plus education. With these essential components in your tool belt, you’ll be equipped to build a strong foundation for your children to thrive, and a home that will make them feel safe and loved.
Dear Me
“Children are definitely defined by their experiences and as adults we write on the slate of who they are and will become. In the wonderful picture book, Dear Me, author, educator, columnist, and broadcast journalist Donna Tetreault does so with great clarity as she helps children develop a sense of control and self-determination about their emotions. She turns elusive abstractions into very understandable constructs children can really relate to. Her loving and compassionate nature graces every page. Well done, Donna.”

"It's vital that children learn to identify and express their feelings, and to do so without shame. This engaging, lovely book enables parents to guide their children in doing just that. It gives me hope that more children, rather than running away from feelings, will work to understand them and bring them into their relationships in healthy ways. I highly recommend this book."
