My rule is that only people who have raised kids get to write a book about parenting. There is no perfect guide, but I must say that A Practical Approach to Parenting is as close as you'll get. There are words of wisdom in these pages that really resonate for new parents, those having kids late in life, and grandparents too! It takes a huge adjustment and a lot of us out here need a guide or checklist for help on how to be a successful parent.A Practical Approach to Parenting breaks down absolutely essential principles to understand and conceptualize including respect and character. It also addresses the areas of parenting that are up to discretion including faith and parenting techniques.The author, Brain P. Sheets writes from a very sympathetic angle; he seems to have seen our predicaments before - that really resonated with me because I could relate to what I was reading. This book doesn't hide behind tons of hoopla; it addresses parents and kids as an issue that we have to take seriously. Family means everything, and this book serves a great purpose.
