A valuable read for parents & grandparents

365 Ways To Connect With Your Kids by mother, author, speaker, journalist, and humorist Charlene Ann Baumbich is an engaging collection of a variety of ways for adults and children to bond and share, ranging from sharing the fun of an audiobook during a car ride, together to ringing in the new year, to learning how to let go of grudges. A valuable read for parents, grandparents, sitters, and just about everyone else, 365 Ways To Connect With Your Kids is very highly recommended and accessible reading.

Funny, touching, inspiring and messy...just like parenthood

With "365 Ways" humorist Charlene Baumbich maintains her humorous style without becoming maudlin or preachy, two very real dangers in any parenting book. The book is filled with short stories by her and contributors (including myself) that recount special and sometimes ordinary moments that left impressions and lessons. The stories are humorous, heartbreaking, inspiring, frightening...like a typical day as a parent. I enjoyed the range of ages covered in the book. There are cute toddlers-say-the-darndest-things stories and moving stories of parents and adult children facing life as peers. It's a fun book to grab and read pages at random. But there are underlying themes threading the stories together. A lot of effort went into this book and it's a nice piece of work.
