The C.A.S.T.L.E. Method

While many parenting strategies focus solely on what affects children, the CASTLE Method approaches both parents and children as unique individuals in need of active learning, growth, love, and care—because the heart of any castle is the entire family.

In The C.A.S.T.L.E. Method, Dr. Phil’s resident parenting expert Donna Tetreault provides her professional and personal experience in raising children, along with the seven foundational, evidence-based principles that form the CASTLE Method: compassion, acceptance, security, trust, love, expectations plus education. This gentle guide simplifies the parent-education dilemma by organizing professional research that can be adapted to any circumstance. As you learn the tools you’ll need to build a strong foundation, you will be empowered to create the best version of yourself, your children, and your family. Your castle will be a place for your children to thrive and feel safe and loved. The journey to build your strong family foundation begins now.
