I want to like this book and learn how to be a better mother. I just found a lot of it to be farfetched. It's almost impossible to implement the majority of the tips shared in this book. I really like the idea of being more patient ande calm when dealing with your children. But unfortunately, I found a lot of the suggestions a bit unrealistic.Jessica Fleming may have been raised on a hippie sort of idealism that is just not applicable for most parents today. The idea of allowing your children to behave how they see fit without any consequences or reprimand is crazy. She believes that punishments create a unnecessary strain on the parent-child relationship/bond. As much as that may be true, our jobs as parents in to guide and teach, not to be their peer or friend.
