Rating: Summary: Saved me! Review: What a great parenting book; and I've read them all! This book is one of, if not THE, best book about parenting. It helped me to be more patient and compassionate with my kids. It also helped me to enjoy parenting more, which is not easy all the time. Great gift for parents whose children are approaching a tough age, like the 2's, 3's and 4's. Also those with teenagers.
Rating: Summary: The Title Says It All Review: With a sense of humor and openness that only an experienced mother can portray, Kay Willis makes this parenting book fun to read. She's been there, done that, and somehow makes a reader feel that it's something she'd do again (parent another child) if given the opportunity. I read it at a low time in my relationship with my teens and immediately felt lifted--that the things we deal with are universal to raising of kids. She really empowered me as a mother to feel that I'm doing well and that despite my best efforts life will not always be rosey. We must just keep plugging away and that sometimes what we think as a tough situation can be better handled with a different persective. I only wish she had a "Dear Kay" column!
