Intentional
Parenting is by far one of the best parenting books that I have
read. And it's no wonder, since the
authors have vast experience at a family counseling center. So, not only have they been to the circus, they've
been the lion tamers as well - so to speak.
In all seriousness, though, this book really does have
some amazing ideas on how to approach this journey we call parenting. Each chapter discusses how to put real thought
into parenting.
Subjects include
consistency, playfulness, spirituality, and patience, and hope. Key concepts that are necessary for parenting
with purpose are examined in detail, with real-life anecdotes and ideas for how
to improve on each area.
I loved that age-appropriate ideas are provided
throughout the book. Clearly, a teen
requires a different style than a toddler does, and this book recognizes
that. I also loved the questions posed
to the reader. This book really
encourages the reader to put thought into his or her parenting style - it's
parenting with purpose! And no matter
how you feel you're doing as a parent, this book is going to provide you with
tools that you will be able to use for the benefit of your whole family. And for fans of Love and Logic, the ideas in
this book can be used with that program.
As a teacher and a mother, I highly recommend this book
to any parent or soon-to-be-parent.
