"Hadad’s The Power of PR Parenting is for the working mom and dad who want a little less chaos and a little more impact in their everyday life at home. Her lovely chit-chat-before-bed style invites parents to enjoy a personal conversation with the author who applies well-worn business techniques to create a smoother, happier life. None of us gets a parenting manual, but this book offers a fresh perspective that gives well-lived insights that will help us all write fabulous stories as we raise competent and successful kids. A welcome addition to your nightstand."

"As a mum of three juggling managing 4 international companies, a healthy relationship with hubby, entertaining family and friends and dedicating time to my kids, the book opened my mind to a considering a new perspective in life. No longer should I get home and try to do everything to disconnect with daily lessons in life that I encounter, but rather this book shows how we should all make an extra effort to merge our professional concepts that work in our corporate lives with our family life at home. The lessons that Marjie took home to her family were contemporary, but writing a book about it and revealing to the world that this method actually works is damn ingenious.”

“The book "The Power of PR Parenting" by Marjie Hadad is read with bated breath, as it leads us through a fascinating personal and family story to a deep understanding of how principles from the field of public relations can be highly relevant when applied to our family life. Thus, this book is unique in its ability to convey in a clear and simple manner how these principles can be wonderfully applied in the work of raising children. This book is a dialogue between the reader and the author, which I read with pure pleasure. In an exciting, empathetic, and close-to-our-everyday-parenting-experiences way, the author equips parents with the tools to properly manage family crises, even life-threatening ones, to build self-confidence in our children, to prepare our children for the future and to help them develop positive introspection and a world view that is empathetic and compassionate. It also equips parents with tools that will allow them to help their children exercise good judgment in risky situations where they themselves are not present. I strongly recommend reading the book. I have no doubt that it will give leverage and support to many parents.”

“Loved every page. So powerful. Moms will be with their highlighters taking notes.”

“Through the pages of Marjie’s work, the messages of how to parent using the techniques learned in her years of being a public relations expert are clearly presented. From creating written contracts with your children to having candid conversations with them about their safety, Marjie provides working examples and lessons to follow so that a parent’s message is understandable and concise. Marjie writes from her own experiences and professional expertise with the intention to help parents bridge and foster life’s lessons into effective communication. As a mother of six through a blended family, I feel an especially wonderful part of the writing is the emphasis and reminder for parents to be role models for their children through their own reactions to life’s ups and downs.”
