This was a quick, informative, interesting book about parenting written from the unique perspective of a mother of five who happened to spend many years employed as a corrections officer in a prison. It made sense, though, when I thought about it. As parents, we want our children to become good people who make good decisions as well as becoming productive members of society. If we fail as parents and our children grow up without guidance, a correctional facility, unfortunately, may be part of their future. This sad reality, I believe, is one of a parent's worst nightmares.Ms. Nelson gives practical, down-to-earth advice. Nothing earth-shattering or controversial but all given from a place of logic. I would recommend this book to any parent looking for guidance and something to add to their resource library.
