This was a great book about the 7 effective habits of parenting. I loved that each section/chapter ended with a summary and a take home thought. I took a lot of mental notes and compared what we are currently doing with the recommendations presented in the book.

The author did a fantastic job, easy to read, well thought out with facts and information tied into stories and examples.

I would recommend this book to parent with kids of all ages.

3.5. Maybe change to a 4 later after I’ve processed lol. I can’t decide how to rate this book because i thoroughly enjoyed the book. Gives practical tangible advice. Easy to connect with the author. I went to a talk by the author and it was the absolute best talk on parenting I’ve ever been to. However, I do think i could have fully received all the necessary info on a 2 page PDF. But again the stories woven into the book as well make it worthwhile.

Love this book! Danny Huetta is great explaining great parenting tips. I love that this book gives great examples of how to engage with intention in parenting. When I tune into the podcast the same themes, techniques and advice are often discussed so that helps reinforce my parenting skills, as well all know, this ain't easy. Lord help us in our parenting!

It’s a good book about how we should be an intentional contributors rather than consumers with biblical sound and to keep this in mind adaptability, respect, intentionality, love, boundaries, gratitude, grace and forgiveness.

I liked the content. But there are side stories on some pages I found it hard to finish reading the paragraph I was currently in and wanting to rush to get to the side stories.
