reviewed Becoming the Parent You Want to Be: A Sourcebook of Strategies for the First Five Years on February 17, 2008 Becoming the Parent You Want to Be
This is one of the most helpful parenting books I have read. The book is fairly extensive; it goes well beyond discipline, feeding adn pooping. It looks at who youar e as a parent, who the family is, feelings, dvelopment and bahavior.
I have not read it cover to cover, and definately do not agree withe very single point in the book. But instead pick it up and read the parts I need. There is a fantastic section on alternatives to yelling. It also poses the question to mom and dad, "Why are you yelling?"
There is a specific section about boys superhero play and guns. Any parent of a boy will understand why that's there. :)
This book is not just a bunch of to dos or one persons idea of being a great parent, but instead gives parents the opportunity to look inside and make decisions about how they interact with their chidlren, focussing on how their actions shape their children.
