Summary: Review of Parachutes for Parents
Review: As a mother of three children under five, I tend to read many parenting books. Parachutes for Parents is one of the few that I've considered worth keeping. I find many of the author's views to be original and yet very wise and sensible. In particular, I like her idea of 'access without entertaining'. I also think that she deals very well with sibling rivalry. We have put many of her theories into practice to great effect. She is also very clear about boundaries, which I find useful to reread every so often. I highly recommend Parachutes for Parents. It is written from the heart with lots of insight. My only criticism is that it is a bit long-winded at times.
