What Kids Want and Need from Parents: How to Bond with and Mentor Children (Argo Navis, 2012)
By Joseph Gauld
In Hyde Schools Founder Joseph Gauld’s fourth book, he reveals a dynamic parenting process that has proven to dramatically transform both parents and families. The success of the process centers on creating a deep parent child bond and parents as mentors. Gauld’s major discovery was that parents’ childhoods—and how parents were raised—were the biggest roadblocks to establishing this bond. Gauld also found parents are unknowingly ceding their parental authority to our achievement society and system of education.
His book seeks to help parents transcend these childhood and societal roadblocks to gain the full respect and trust of their children by doing What Kids Want—and Need—From Parents: helping them realize their true best and reaching self-sufficient by roughly age 19.

Nature’s Parenting Process: Five Simple Truths to Empower Children through Parenting Excellence
By Joseph Gauld
This book unlocks nature’s powerful process for raising children, a process that produces truly fulfilling and exceptional lives. It is available to every parent, family and child. It’s an exciting challenge, which should become our next frontier.
Nature’s Parenting Process, centering on what Gauld calls the “inherent guidelines for raising children,” was inspired by the nationally recognized parenting and family concepts created 44 years ago at the first Hyde School in Bath, Maine. Gauld’s assertion — that parenting today has become painfully confused because of a prevalent mindset that ignores the basic foundation of child-rearing — targets a parenting trend that he sees as both arbitrary and self-regulating and threatens the emotional well-being of today’s youth.
