The protection and encouragement of independence, resiliency, accountability, and enthusiasm are the subjects for which she is best known. These themes include talking to children about death and enjoying the chaos of unclean rooms.

Her enduring success The Blessing of a Skinned Knee was praised by Publishers Weekly in a starred review as "Impassioned, poetic, and wonderfully practical—a true gem." The Blessing of a B Minus, her book about parenting teens, received positive reviews that underlined its wit, wisdom, compassion, and common sense.

In their versions in Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese, both books are well-liked. In April, she will publish her latest book, Voice Lessons for Parents: What to Say, How to Say It, and When to Listen.

In it, she provides advice on how to communicate with kids at all stages of childhood and adolescence and outlines the best methods to discuss your child with grandparents, spouses, teachers, coaches, nannies, and other family members.
