I have two boys, ages 5 and 3, that I‘ve been staying home with since March. Some days are great! Some days, less than stellar. Some days, I consider going back to work 😒. We‘ve rode the struggle bus more often than not, so I was desperate for solutions. This book was a welcome addition to my parenting arsenal. Just changing the way I speak to them has already made a difference. Totally recommend this one.

You guys! My first parenting session based around this book happened last night and I am jumping for joy! I‘m looking forward to using my education in this positive way, and I can‘t wait to hone my skills as a parent educator. Yes!!

I am FINALLY putting my Bachelors Degree in Family and Child Development to good use! This book has inspired me to host parenting workshops so we can raise the next generation of children in the best way possible. Online and in person!! I can‘t praise this book enough. On to help other adults learn how to be their best selves for our children!

TheBookgeekFrau “I see the milk has spilled” is still used by my family to defuse an escalating situation with laughter 23 years later (which, btw is a wonderful spin on what the author intended). Hands down—the best parenting book I ever read! 6y
Theshadedbuffalo @C.Perone 🙌🏻🙌🏻 yes! There is no need for yelling and blaming! What do we do as adults when we make mistakes? It‘s kind of crazy how differently we treat children over adults; why do we not give them respect if we demand it? It‘s an amazing book. I‘m still trying to get my husband to follow my guidance, but it‘s super hard. 6y
TheBookgeekFrau Don‘t fret too much if he doesn‘t. It‘s a good thing for kids to experience different parenting styles; the whole world doesn‘t come at problems the same way 6y
Theshadedbuffalo @C.Perone yes, you are exactly right. My kids have a different relationship with me than they do with him, and I think with me being the listener they know they always have someone to vent to without repercussion, and they allow him to be the “fun” parent. Maybe they prefer it that way! 6y

A fact about me: I have a Bachelor‘s degree in Family and Child Development. If I have gained any knowledge about parenting and children during my studies, it‘s that you should never stop looking for the best way to parent your children. This is the most current book I‘m listening to, and I have to say, even though I‘m not finished yet, it has helped me tremendously with my super-emotional, on the verge of puberty 10 year old daughter. ❤️❤️

Although the interstitial comics' artwork shows its 1980s-ness, the wisdom in this book is timeless, and useful whether you're talking mostly to a two year old (like I am) or teenagers, or tricky, prickly in-laws.
