I am Anne, the author. If you answered a YES to any of the ten questions, this book might help on your parenting journey.I answered YES to ALL of those questions. I was searching for a simple, universal, and easy-to-apply parenting approach for everyday use. The solution I describe in my parenting book has been around for 2500 years. It's just that nobody has explained how to use it with children, in everyday parenting. This parenting tool is no secret, many of us have used the approach in some form or another, not even knowing we were parenting with the case method!The Proven MethodThe Case Method Miracle is not about the Harvard case method in the traditional sense, and you do not have to be a Harvard graduate to use the case method in the parenting setting. In fact, if you think you have to have a degree from Harvard to parent successfully, then my parenting book is not for you. I am sharing my parenting experience as a mom to mom, not as a parenting expert.The teaching and parenting expertise and the proof to this parenting approach come from Socrates, the father of teaching from ancient Greece over 2,500 years ago. In fact, this parenting book is as much for fathers as for mothers, for caregivers and teachers.The Simplified MethodOver the two years I studied at Harvard Business School, I analyzed and discussed over 500 case studies. They follow a certain structure. I took that structure and stripped it to its core elements. They include the main character, the situation description, and the question. Instead of twenty-page descriptions of business situations, the cases in my book are one-minute stories with a simple question.BenefitsChildren; the case method parenting approach benefits: Children stay out of trouble because they learn to think for themselves, own their decisions, and take pride in them.Children grow self-confidence because they learn they can face what life brings, with confidence.Children develop mental grit, the ability to stand firm under peer pressure, something that becomes more and more important as the children grow up.Children develop early literacy by hearing and being heard, a crucial aspect to literacy development.Parents; the case method parenting approach benefits: Parents learn how to use a proven method in its simplest form for a best parenting tool.Parents can provide a safe environment for discussions with their child--even difficult ones--because the stories are in third person.Parents bond with their child, because they are sharing with their child from the child's perspective, communicating not just with love and logic, but with love and care, favorites for every child.
