Review: A Great Parenting Book for NEW Parents...

I like the premise of "Good Enough Parenting."  Unlike some parenting books that seem to be written by self-righteous perfectionists, this book offers sound, practical advice for dealing with the real challenges of raising a family.  I was reminded that what kids really want more than anything is our time and I walked away with some good strategies for making some positive changes with my younger kids.While there isn't anything particularly revolutionary in the book, I do think new parents would benefit immensely from giving this a read as the concepts for dealing with stressful situations and managing discipline are solid and practical.  Long time parents won't get too much out of it but the book isn't intended for them.  Still, I was reminded of a few things I can do better to bring some harmony to the household and appreciated the author's own admissions of "failure" on a few occasions.  The "hot sauce" incident was funny.
