Parenting from Out of Bounds: A guide to keeping your sanity while raising an active family.

by Chad Peters, Natalie Williams (Editor), Whitney Kight (Editor)

"Reading this book made me a better mom!" - Whitney N. " Why isn’t this in the parenting handbook? I shouldn’t have to repeat the same mistakes someone else has made!” Being a parent is busy, beautiful, frustrating, rewarding, magnificent, and absolutely crazy, all at the same time! It gets overwhelming! I get it; I’m right there with you. We have 4 kids involved in seven sports, 26 pets, and a hobby of world travel. Although “Out of Bounds” refers to our role on the sidelines, it also encompasses the idea of a world without set rules. Experiment and play with new ideas. This is not a “how-to” book. This is a compass, helping us, as parents, to find direction and enjoy the adventure. Full of sports analogies and comparisons, because that's what they know, join the Peters family as they share their tips and ideas on how to acknowledge (and even appreciate) the craziness, the wins, and the laughs while using the mistakes and losses as an opportunity for change.

Change perspectives, and you change your awareness. That's where life gets better." -C. Peters

I've known Chad and his family for some years now. He has treated my sports injuries in the past and has educated me on how and why these happen, but most importantly, how to treat and prevent future occurrences.

Chad has always been a positive role model among sports in the Coastal Bend as he assesses and treats athletes of all ages. His fun loving personality and positive outlook on everything really makes an impact on you. When I found out he wrote a book on parenting, I thought to myself, I bet there's some really valuable life info in there.

I bought this book off Amazon and it delivered in 2 days. I opened it up and starting reading. I was so hooked that I did not put it down until I finished it. No lie. The entertainment factor is there in every chapter. Using real life experiences and advice from friends and family, Chad adds his fun loving twist as he narrates parenting scenarios that us parents can all relate to. I can promise you that you'll not only be entertained, but you will get some helpful parenting tips that can keep things moving in a positive direction. For under $8, you'll find out things like, what Chad's perspective is on "nerf bullets", or what your "hourly worth" is. I highly recommend this book to all parents!
