"If you know you are ultimately going to drive your child to the mall, let your daughter have a 3-person sleepover or allow your son an extra cookie after dinner - just go straight to a happy YES! When you offer up an awesome gesture as if you are doing your kids a big favor, it takes the fun out of it. It is so easy to add joy to your delivery with "Sure!" or "I'd be happy to!" or "Let's do that!" Your enthusiasm will make your child feel even better about your YES, but best of all, it will make you feel great."(Parenting Golden Rule #1)

I'm not sure why this book has a 3.9 rating. First of all the little pieces of wisdom are extremely short for somebody like me I appreciate that so much! I like that this book was not focused on any set age. I'm finding a lot and parenting books that I'm reading where I either have to skip half a book or try to thumb through a whole bunch of information for exactly what I need. Is there anything particularly novel in this book? No. But it is great reminders and I would recommend it for sure! It's too short not to at least try.

“One thing I learned from watching chimpanzees with their infants is that having a child should be fun.”
It is a nice book. Full {well 101 to be exact} of little tips and ideas on some of the things that may come up while you are raising your kids. I think this would be a good gift for expecting parents.
“The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for 30 years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found”
