Rating: Summary: A stellar parenting book for everyone! Review: This parenting book is for your family. I have used this book with my own family too. Carschooling besides being well written is very informative and truly unique. Carschooling is such a great resource book I leave in my car and reference it whenever the occasion calls for it. (Lately, that has been frequently.) I have found it works the best for me and my family during heavy traffic times. My children are in the back seat clammering for something to do when I hand them the book and ask them to search the table of contents and come up with something to entertain themselves from it. They find satisfaction from choosing the subject matter they wish to discuss by themselves.As a parent and teacher there isn't a better one on one parenting book to get the dialog going with my children. It is far superior to the old dreaded "how was school today" question. Carschooling helps me get to know my children as individuals because the conversation starters suggested in the book are insightful and less threating to them. Who knew car time would lead to bonding time?
Rating: Summary: Where was this book this summer? Review: What a great book! I wish I would have had it this summer on my family "car" vacation. (The airplane mode of travel doesn't seem to be an option anymore.) I look forward to using many of the ideas in this book during the up coming holiday season on our way to the grandparents. The original ideas in this book far exceed the "slug bug" or "row row your boat" games and songs I played with my brothers and sisters in our family car. Additionally, Diane Flynn Keith has come up with ideas for activities for your shorter cross town excursions too. I have already done some of her activities and they worked. A must read for anyone who drives a car with children inside. Using Diane Flynn Keith's ideas has made my driving time enjoyable, less stressful, and has helped me be a better parent. I don't hear anymore, "are we there yet?" This book is an easy read and more importantly fun!
