The best advice I got was that I cannot change my husband (an annoying habit or whatever) but I CAN change how I react to it (or not)! Thanks for the chance to win. The book looks really interesting.

I completely agree with you regarding parenting books. I don't believe there is one magic bullet for every kid. I think it is more about each child as an individual. Even though my second child is only 8 months old, I definitely am parenting him different than I did my first. I trust my gut and my instincts. Two pieces of advice I truly have taken to heart are 1) never miss an opportunity to say “I love you” and 2) does your face light up when they walk into a room?

Reading parenting books do just make you question how you're doing things and add to the big bag of guilt that comes with being a parent... That is unless you learn to let go and realise that if you're even at all worried about how you're parenting you're probably doing an okay job. Or at least that's what I hope or should I feel guilty that I'm not doing a phd in parenting... It's a minefield... I wish children came with their own individual training manual... then nobody would need parenting books. Go with your own instincts... Sorry, essay over.

I am so scared to even start reading parenting books because it seems like everyone thinks that their way is THE way. I think I'll be more like you and follow my instincts and advice of family & friends. But this book does sound like a true winner! Deborahs last blog post..Baby Shower Cupcakes

Friends of mine with kids have said that being frantic makes your kids frantic, makes life frantic, makes you frantic, so chill. They won’t miss the toys you didn’t buy, they won’t regret not being on three different teams every summer, they won’t hold their lack of special classes against you…unless you continue to talk about it.

And I only recently found your site, but I’m loving it. Thanks so much.
