I really enjoyed this one and read so much of it aloud to my sister with discussions about our childhood and the life she's building for her own girls.

Clarke-Fields methodology aligns very well with my belief system. I'm reading to make parenting feel less terrifying and overwhelming (I don't have kids yet) and this book helped.

ravenlee Is this aimed at parents of young kids, or is it broader? (My kiddo is almost nine, and a lot of these seem to skew toward the preschool years) 2y
everlocalwest @ravenlee it's actually much more about you as a parent than about the kids developmentally so I really think it would be helpful to parents of kids at any age. Her examples do tend to skew younger though. 2y
ravenlee Thank you! 2y

Excellent parenting advice. All stuff I have read in other books but listening to the short audiobook was a nice reminder to treat these kiddos as if they are the special little people they are. Even when they are screaming and fighting with each other 😆
But seriously, I have been working on being gentler with them and trying (lord help me!) to get my husband on board with patience and mindfulness when it comes to parenting.

Tamra We just yesterday told our own kids parenting is the toughest worthwhile job that you‘ll ever do and kids don‘t appreciate it until they are parents themselves! 😅😅 I think right now with an early teen and preteen the biggest challenge is navigating the sense of entitlement and endless wants. We have the same discussions ad nauseam. 😜 3y
DrSabrinaMoldenReads @Tamra So true. They do not know the deal until they have youngsters themselves. Each of my two sons, whom felt were literally crazy during adolescence, are wonderful fathers but yet are stunned at how we raised them. 3y

Chelsea.Poole @Tamra @Joyfulmimi I‘m in the thick of things now with a 6 year old and a 4 year old, but I cannot imagine the teenage years! I‘m sure they are crazy during those years!! 3y
