I loved how this book uses an acronym to help you remember the skills it teaches. I have read this book many times to help me become a better parent.

This all made SO much sense to me. Now just to put it into practice. This copy is a library book, but I so need my own copy to highlight and make notes in.

I'm finding quite a lot of useful advice in this little book! This is one thing I've noticed I do that I always feel weird about and have noticed my kiddo gets frustrated when things get a little tougher than average.

"The goal is not to make easily performed tasks the basis for our admiration." True that!

night_shift Honestly, likely going to employ this at work, too. 😒 7y

Loved this parenting book. It's a fast read about how Danish parents raise kids. It offers a lot of tips about things to implement with your kids, from how to praise them to how the family spends time together. It'll be one I come back to as my daughter gets older.

Mehso-so

There were some good pieces of advice in this book. It reinforces the Brave Writer lifestyle encouraged by Julie Bogart aka my Oprah. I read a library copy and decided to order my own. This is the kind of book that begs the use of a highlighter. So-So instead of a pick because it's a very specific type of parenting advice you'll receive and unless you're in the headset to hear it, you're not going to want to read this.
