From Criticism to Connection – How to Break the Cycle of Control and Build Emotional Bonds

By Anthony Klarity

Modern parenting is harder than ever — children face pressures no previous generation experienced, and parents are expected to hold everything together.

This book becomes the guide you were never given.

From Criticism to Connection is a powerful, science-backed parenting manual that covers the full spectrum of challenges today’s children face. It gives parents the tools, clarity, and emotional strength to build real connection — not through control or criticism, but through understanding, trust, and calm leadership.

Based on the Mind Recode System™, the book offers practical steps, emotional rewiring tools, reprogramming sentences, daily plans, and concrete scripts that parents can apply immediately.
