The Happy Kid Handbook: How to Raise Joyful Children in a Stressful World
Parenting today has gotten too complicated. It’s never been the easiest job in the world, but with all the “parenting advice” parents are met with at every corner, it’s hard not to become bewildered. It seems that in the past it was a good deal simpler. You made sure there was dinner on the table and the kids got to school on time and no one set anything on fire, and you called it a success. But today everybody has a different method for dealing with the madness–attachment parenting, free-range parenting, mindful parenting. And who is to say one is more right or better than another? How do you choose?
