Have you ever thought about why so many heroes of children’s books are orphans?

Have you ever noticed that Harry Potter is an orphan? So is Aladdin. Pippi Longstocking has no mother, and her father is always away. Why are so many heroes of children’s books orphans? Why were the authors whose books we grew up on hinting that a child cannot thrive together with his parents?

Were you happy, confident, and secure growing up with your parents?

Did you feel you were allowed to enjoy life in your parents’ home? That you could admire yourself? That you could be what you want and express everything you feel? If you never felt protected and contained in your parents’ home, the good news is that you are not alone. The bad news is that today, too, many children feel alone when they are at home with Mommy or Daddy.

Build a new type of home for your children, based on honesty, intimacy, and complete trust

Miraculous Parenting is for parents who want to feel excited about their parenting, who are willing to ask tough questions about the way in which we all were raised. You can build your family’s home on entirely new foundations: honesty, intimacy, and complete trust and without threats, punishment, or preaching. This book provides a way to strengthen the love and trust that connects us. It offers an opportunity to strengthen the thread of love and trust that connects us, that gives both parents and children the sense of home without which it’s hard, really hard, to breathe.

Today I made one of the most important purchases of my life. I bought Shai Orr's book, Miraculous Parenting. I sit and read, and every line moved me and made my heart pound. It is unbelievable. I want to scream. It is like someone has given a clear and precise voice to my most secret thoughts. There is no language of boundaries and education here. There is a language of encounters and deep listening. There is a new language here.Inbar
What an enormous gift it is to be a parent, what a wonderful choice, so powerful, and how much care is required when playing with this gift. And what a simple joy there is in being a human, who simply investigates and listens to himself and his surroundings. There is no moment easier to begin and to move forward than now. Thank you for your writing, thank you for your devotion in writing, for your freedom of thought. Tears of emotion and love are welling in my eyes. Miriam
Every word gives me shivers of pleasure. And excitement. I want to say "thank you!" Thank you so much... what magic you have done! I immediately felt a desire to give the book to my mother as a gift. Then there is the fear that she will take it as criticism or judgment of her parenting. But if the words reach her heart, maybe we can still heal the old wound between us and within each of us. This gives me hope. Yael
I can hardly put it down. It moves me to tears. Refreshing and precise thought on the wonderful relationship between parents and their children, between children and their parents. The contract between them, and how to honor it.Rotem
Thank you for enlightening me. You gave me the opportunity for a new and very refreshing look at my parenting and at the way I listen to my beloved children.Liat
I began to read and I'm reading slowly and carefully--contemplating every word and idea. It's an amazing book! The thought within it is true and the writing suits me perfectly. I am only at the beginning but the understandings have already begun to flow. About myself, about my parents, about my son and about my friends. Thank you for this book! The change is flowing already.Gila

Author Shai Orr removes layer after layer of the mystery of parenting

“When Mommy or Daddy wants to open the door—through the miraculous and healing power of listening—no child in the world will insist on closing it.”

This book brings a ‘fresh point of view’ to the relationship between children and their parents. The author states that this is not a book on education or a book with clever suggestions on how to behave the right way with children. Instead, he wants to enable parents to understand and feel the wonder of human creation that has been entrusted to them and the magic and generosity that goes along with the choice to be a parent.

Miraculous Parenting is a very well written life improvement book. This book is intelligent, wise and packed to the rafters with practical sound advice. It becomes very obvious as you read through this page turner that the author is imparting his wisdom and understanding as to what happiness and family relationships really mean. It’s an excellent guide for putting things into perspective.

No matter what your situation is today, this book will put you on the right path to better things. I’ve been around the block a few times myself and even I found this read to be very insightful. The author must be commended for his time and effort for producing such an insightful book. Also, the writing style is friendly which makes for an enjoyable read.

I would highly recommend this perceptive, insightful and intuitive read. Five stars from me.

Very interesting. Didn't take too long to read either. It really makes you go back and look at your childhood. It helps you see things from a different perspective.

My wife loved this book. I thought it was OK. On a positive note, I understand her's and others' enthusiasm. The core message is eye-opening, encouraging, and empowering.

What is the core message? Children are born believing that their parents can and want to give them everything they need. When children exhibit some difficulty, this is usually a response to the failure of their parents to respond to their needs. Parents may not know how to respond to some of their children's needs because their parents did not respond to theirs. By allowing the problems to exist, instead of trying to fix them immediately, identify which lack may be the cause for the issue, and trying to fulfill the need instead of fixing the problem, parents can give children what they really need.

What sucks about the book are the following:

1) Stylistic issues: lots of mixing metaphors, poor sentence construction, no clear organizational logic.
2) Lots of hard to memorize lists that aren't really helpful and make it hard to follow what he's talking about, for example, "Seven Basic Requests", "Four Observations", "Five Layers". (Why 7? Let's say there are exactly 7 requests, how about for the sake of us dumbos, you make it 3?).
3) Often he generalizes personal experiences into a larger negative view of humanity. Modern culture, ancient culture, most people in general are miserable and making everyone else miserable. Without the help of this new system, life will just keep getting worse and worse. Don't forget that if you don't agree, you probably have serious issues!
4) Very little practical advice.

I found it hard to read the book without losing track of what he was talking about, which is a bummer, because the core message is interesting and has the potential, with more development, to make for a really excellent parenting book.

Do not buy this book - this is a parenting scam, this guy is not going to help you.

This is a complete BS, this 'new age' parenting book is suppose to promote listing and caring for our children in a magical way and everything will just sort itself out and you will be singing on a cloud. Well I tell you, this is not the case. These are very hard concepts to understand and even harder to implement, which makes me think this is all a bunch of made up BS that is only intended to get you confused and go away from your motherly instincts... anyways, I thought I will go to the horses head to get some answers - when trying to contact the author he wanted to charge over $250 per session to 'help me understand' his book. This is to me a complete scam, it feels as if the entire purpose of the book is to have you pay him for his 'sessions'. As a single mother of two (2.5,6) who's having difficulties with my kids I am sometime desperate for some help and guidence, when reaching out to the authors I felt completely taken advantage of and without any sympathy for my situation, I asked for a discounted price and was willing to pay handsomely but they would not move an Inch. I don't know what to say.. I guess this book is only good for you if you are rich and can pay an extra $250/h to the guy who wrote it in order to make any sense of whatever he is saying. I'm done with these people. Sorry. Please don't contribute more to this magician, or buy his book, please.

I read this first in Hebrew, then offered to translate it to English for free because it had such an impact on me and how I looked at my parents as well as my daughter, and my existing relationships.
Should be required reading for so many people on this planet.
