A Year Of Good-Enough Parenting: The Frazzled Family's Weekly Dose of Calm & Confidence

By Barbara Dab and Margit Crane

"This is not a parenting book; it will, however, make parenting easier, so that's pretty cool."So begins A Year of Good-Enough Parenting, the first book from the always real, usually warm and often hilarious "Mamas," Margit Crane and Barbara Dab of Good-Enough Parenting Radio. From "Albert Einstein, Parenting Coach" and "Love Affair with an Alien" to "Choosing Step-Motherhood" and "The Last One is Dessert," A Year of Good-Enough Parenting is a shot of inspiration, a celebration of parenthood and a love letter to the heroic adults who care for our precious youth. The introduction reads:"This is not a parenting book; it will, however, make parenting easier, so that's pretty cool. To get the most out of this book, we've divided it into 52 weeks. That way, you have 52 inspiring stories! Each of the 52 stories has a suggestion for you, something to consider during the week (Just one. No extra thinking involved. That's how we roll.)Give yourself permission to skip some weeks, or to start in the middle. Go back or look ahead. If you're not up to doing one of the suggestions, no worries. There isn't one way to read this book - do it your way. Your way is good enough.So throw away your doubts, dive in, and join the Good-Enough Parenting Nation. After all... Good enough is the new perfect!"A sample from the first story:"If New Year's Resolutions worked, I would be a fan. My experience, though, is that resolutions are a set-up for failure and self-criticism. Not interested. Instead of New Year's resolutions, I choose a New Year Theme. "
