Advance Praise
★★★★★ Parenting Through the Eyes of Lollipops by Jacqueline Pirtle is the go-to primer for expectant, struggling, or just plain curious parents. Pirtle uses her experience as a mother and holistic practitioner to distill her key takeaways for developing a healthy, nourishing relationship with your children. At the heart are her Three Pillars: The Harmonious Dance, It Is Never the Child, and The Love Cycle of Parenthood. To give just a taste of these teachings, the first pillar—The Harmonious Dance—describes the natural give-and-take relationship between parents and their children, where the role of teacher and student is meant to switch constantly as children grow up. When parents fall too heavily into teacher mode, The Harmonious Dance becomes unbalanced. Through the synergy of these three pillars, Pirtle takes readers on a journey from pre-conception all the way to adulthood, checking in with parents at each stage of growth and describing the unique challenges—and joys!—that accompany each one.
Parenting Through the Eyes of Lollipops is an optimistic manual for any parent who needs to be reminded of how special their job really is. Pirtle’s perspective on parenthood is truly unique—and refreshing. She believes that the healthiest families blossom where equality is encouraged. Forgetting to respect our children enough, or putting too much pressure on them because parents know what is right, is exactly the wrong way to raise young adults. And, while this message might be tough for some parents to hear, it could be exactly what they need to hear. For readers who are interested in engaging with more of Pirtle’s teachings, they are encouraged to pick up a copy of 365 Days of Happiness, which is a guide to cultivating true happiness in one’s life. Though less specific to parenthood, this brilliant book carries its own share of great life lessons. ~ Red City Review

Parenting through the Eyes of Lollipops has been an amazing. I saw and read through it today with tears in my eyes. I love how she wrote nearly a whole chapter from a child's perspective. I love how she encourages us to just be mama's who don't mind the messes and just lives through the eyes of lollipops!

First I want to thank the author for the chance to read this book. I'm a new parent and I always keep an eye on the books related to parenting. This was one of the reasons I've requested the book and I was happy to be accepted.
I loved it! It has great useful tips. And I really appreciate the author's style welcoming the easy education, the parents that spend quality time with their kids and are relaxed about not getting everything done and the mess in the house while they enjoy playing with the kids.
Useful and relaxing reading! Thanks

What a fantastic book! Totally different and fresh perspective on parenting and enjoying the gift of being a parent. There were times when I thought I was highlighting the entire chapter because the content was resonating so much with me. It's so true that it is never the child - so many of our behaviors and attitudes go back to old belief systems, habits, and the judgement of others. The main message that I took away from the book is to experience joy; be in the present moment, show gratitude, and help nourish your child's soul without judging them or trying to persuade them. We are all here to help each other and all deserve to be happy. This book couldn't have come at a better time for me. Thank you Jacqueline Pirtle!
