This book gave me a shot of inspiration for 2013! The goal of this book to is empower parents to positively navigate the rough and calm seas of childhood. There are tips on dealing with challenging behaviour that serve mostly as reminders but are always good to review. The most useful parts of this book for me were about how to shift your attitude as a parent to find the positive and to embrace the chaos in order to be the parent you want to be.
The best thing that I took away from this book were the tips on how to calm down before reacting, reminders to find balance between family and self, and the "Celebrating Successes Daily" idea that challenges parents to celebrate themselves and think of two things that they did right each day. This was a super quick read, and one that I know I will come back to.
