The beloved physician who wrote the mega-bestseller Love, Medicine & Miracles and other enormously popular books, guides readers through the ups and downs, joys and heartaches of parenting
During his many years working with thousands of patients and their families, Dr. Bernie Siegel became an expert on how to turn sometimes trying situations into opportunities for personal growth. In his newest book, this husband of more than 50 years, father of five children, and grandparent of eight, shares the gems garnered from his practice and his own family life to show readers what he's learned about raising kids with love, wisdom, and humor.
How much time with you do your kids need? How do you teach your children values? When kids misbehave, how do you mix appropriate anger and discipline with love? What are some ways to help children adjust to separation or divorce? Should you get a family pet? With a wealth of quotes, anecdotes, parenting tips, and his comforting, caring, down-to-earth tone, Dr. Siegel addresses the myriad questions that parents face as they strive to guide their kids to happy, healthy adulthood.
Delivered with just the right dose of compassion, inspiration, and gentle humor, Love, Magic & Mudpies is an insightful and supportive guide on every aspect of parenting.

      A father of five and grandfather of eight, Siegel (Love, Medicine and Miracles: Lessons Learned About Self-Healing from a Surgeons Experience with Exceptional Patients) wants us to understand that it is only when children are loved unconditionally and taught to care for others that we will live in a better world. While delivering short chapters of opinions on what it takes to achieve this utopia (e.g., love, humor, great family values, spirituality, positivism, and responsibility), Siegel provides therapeutic exercises to try at home. Some of these exercises seem simplistic for the task at hand, like repeating a motto to yourself until you truly mean it. Others, because Siegel emphasizes the importance of humor in life, are outright silly, like rehearsing your imitation of your childs voice so that you can pretend to be your child on the phone when his friends call. If readers dont lose patience with Siegels descriptions of his many practical jokes, theyll find an important message here: love is whats most important when raising children. With many religious references, this book might inspire parents who enjoy Deepak Chopras books. Buy only where spiritual self-help is in demand.Maryse Breton, OCPL, Syracuse, NY
