Customer Reviews

I wish I had this book when my kids were young.

This book is so packed with wonderfully clever ideas of how to share your life with your kids, teach them needed skills while going through your day, and enjoying time together, not viewing the chores as drudgery or unpleasant tasks , but fun learning experiences. Bravo to Deborah Carroll for not only writing a how-to parent manual that works (They always say there's not a manual to tell you how to parent.), but also for her refreshing viewpoint in treating her kids with respect and fundamentally Being a Parent, Teacher, Guide, while seeming just to be a shopper, a mom, a friend.
