These are the things I want to model for my clients and these are the things that make you a competent catalyst to me.

About Gloria’s Books

“I think that if a parent could only read one parenting book, that Parenting Well in a Media Age is the one they should read.  It doesn't tell you what to do or how to do it, it just tells you what a child needs to develop his full potential.”
Ruth Williams, Parent Educator,
Kirkland, WA

Dr. Nilufer Ocel, Professor of Communications , Istanbul University

Dr. Katherine Heintz-Knowles, Professor of Communications University of Washington

“Trust Gloria DeGaetano to come up with clear and compelling information for parents trying to navigate the minefields of media and corporate pressures on kids. Follow her advice and your children will be the winners!”

“Screen Smarts is must reading for every parent and educator because, along with identifying the single greatest problem in our society, it also provides a tool kit that every parent must have to master both the bad and the potential good in the screen. It is a vitally important book.”
Lt. Col Dave Grossman, author On Killin

"What Dr. Spock provided to moms and dads in the 1950s, Gloria DeGaetano offers to parents of 21st century kids—savvy insights about child development coupled with practical tips for helping children learn to navigate the world in which they are growing up.”
