In his book 7 Traits of Effective Parenting, Huerta presents a collection of seven powerful character traits designed to help parents grow and thrive as they take on the task of raising children. Using the same exhaustive research, Danny also created the 7 Traits Assessment for parents.
In 7 Traits of Effective Parenting Daniel Huerta hits that rare sweet spot of “deep and wide.” Like a skilled conductor he orchestrates the big sound of seven key movements, but then spotlights numerous small instruments of practical, easily understood applications that make creating our own family symphony seem possible. You’ll be inspired and equipped as you listen to and then apply this fine work.
