A real lift!

This is one of my favorite books. I don't agree with all her parenting advice, but she is supportive of ALL parents and not dogmatic. There is a religious/Christian section, but it is a kind of addendum and really the whole book is not just for Christian parents. She is very open about her family's struggles, and acknowledges that you will make mistakes, and bad things may happen in your family, but that doesn't mean you're an awful parent. This is great for people who need a mental books about being a mom or a dad. The cover of the book is pink, so it looks like it is for moms, but it is really aimed at both. My husband loved this book!!

I loved this book!

I had so much fun reading this book! Atkins has such a positive attitude toward parenting. Parts of this book have a religious slant, which may not appeal to everyone, but the much of the advice is universal. This book is a joy to read!
