My Thoughts
I really enjoy reading this book. It's very informative as to how to raise your kids. I know parenting can be tough sometime, but, this book reminds us that we need to slow down and be calm.
Each chapter is 3-4 pages long. I found that the book was real easy to read and is great for both mom and dad. As well as grandparents and aunts and uncles.
Throughout the book are tips and considerations. As well as questions. At the end of each chapter there is enough space for taking notes. At the very end of the book, Dr. Cartmell summarizes all of the tips. This is great to look back on.
