What PARENTS say:

We were at the end of our rope when it came to our son's sleep issues. We needed a solution that was tailored to our needs and priorities. And that is precisely what Rachel offered us. (J. & A. in Brooklyn)

I am grateful for Rachel Biale's knowledge, expertise, and wisdom as a parenting counselor. She helped me and my co-parents (a gay couple) adopt better sleep habits for our daughter when we encountered difficulties, and to this day, we still practice what she preached: boundaries, structure, routines, and clarity! That early intervention profoundly changed our family's parenting strategies for the better. Rachel is compassionate, skillful, and a great listener. (C. in Denver)

What PROFESSIONALS say:

I have been very familiar with Rachel Biale's highly effective work with children and families for many years. She is warm, engaging, and has a depth of experience, wisdom and common sense. Rachel has a way of listening closely, integrating details, and then providing thoughtful solutions that can be reasonably implemented into practice with beneficial outcomes.

Update #6 - What Now? and COVID19 April 22, 2020

Dear friend,

I am writing to you in the midst of what will possibly prove to be the biggest crisis we've experienced in our  lives... First and foremost, I hope you and your family and others close to you are all healthy and maintaining emotional stability. It's, of course, particularly difficult if you have family members or friends who need your support and direct contact and cannot have it right now, be it elderly relatives or young children. I send my empathy and words of encouragement (I have been sending biweekly "1-Minute Tips" for coping in these times when you have young children at home. Email me if you'd like to receive them: rachelbiale@gmail.com).

Remarkably, in the midst of all this, my parenting advice book has been marching along and is now posted on Amazon! Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Rachel+Biale&ref=nb_sb_noss_2  (when you go to that page you'll see another book of mine: published this month: Growing Up Below Sea Level: A Kibbutz Childhood. You might enjoy that one! Here's a review: https://www.jweekly.com/2020/04/21/rachel-biales-new-memoir-ponders-her-kibbutz-childhood-in-israels-early-days/)

The publisher, Koeheler Books (a shoutout to the remarkable staff there!) expects the book to be officially out mid-June, which means printed copies will arrive at my house by early June. The precise logistics and timing of printing and delivery and then how I will ship YOUR ORDER to you remain a bit fuzzy given the COVID19 reality. But I am confident that we will work it out and you will hopefully receive your copy/copies by Mid-June (later if you are outside the USA). I will keep you informed as major steps take place.

Meanwhile, stay healthy, safe and sane.

Rachel
