Synopsis

How often have we heard complaints like these?

“Why don’t my kids do what I say?”
“Who made the mess in here?”
“When will my teen make better choices?”

These are the kinds of questions that parents ask that lead not only to complaining, but to victim thinking, procrastination, and blaming. The solution: Learn to parent the QBQ® way – and bring personal accountability to life within our families.
Based on the same concepts that have made John Miller’s signature work, QBQ: The Question Behind the Question, an international bestseller over the last decade, Parenting the QBQ Way provides the tool called the QBQ or The Question Behind the Question that will help every parent look behind questions such as “Why won’t my kids listen?” or “When will they do what I ask?” to find better ones—QBQs—like “What can I do differently?” or “How can I improve as a parent?” This simple but challenging concept turns the focus – and responsibility – back to parents and to what they can do to make a difference.

With thoughtful commentary, observation, and advice, illustrated with engaging and memorable anecdotes that are the hallmarks of John Miller’s previous books, Parenting the QBQ Way provides all moms and dads with the means and inspiration to be more effective parents – as well as teach their children how to practice their own brand of personal accountability – to create a happy, healthy family for a lifetime.

Goodreads review by Heather on June 22, 2018

This book appeals to parents and teachers a like because of its focus on personal accountability. In general this approach seems to help parents look to their behavior and expectations first in a sort of log in your own eye and plank in your kids (or others) eye situation. This approach isn’t a Chri......more

Goodreads review by Arun on August 31, 2023

An awesome take on using simple mindset change to do better parenting. Though the concept is same across all the books from this author, this one cites examples in the parenting world. I learnt a lot on better managing thoughts and your questioning engine in your mind to deal with day to day parenti......more
