A Modern Manual for Parenting in the Real World
Have you ever been out in public, desperately needing to change your child’s diaper, only to find the bathroom without a changing station? What do you do when your preschooler has a massive meltdown in the middle of the store? Never fear – authors Sarah Davis, Ed. D., and Evie Granville, M. Ed., to the rescue! Their new book Modern Manners for Moms & Dads: Practical Parenting Solutions for Sticky Social Situations tackles just these types of questions. However, this is not your grandmother’s etiquette book. Instead of only listing a bunch of dos and dont’s, this book also offers a modern flair by containing pop quizzes, flow charts, and answers to podcast listeners’ questions. Davis and Granville share “sticky situations” from their own lives; and as educators and moms to six kids, these ladies know their stuff! Thus, the tone is very much like chatting with your best friend. In addition, the authors offer readers their Solar System Parenting Framework, a unique method of identifying and analyzing how one might react in public situations.
Reading Modern Manners for Moms & Dads did more than give me tips on how to change my relationship with my child. It allowed me to better process my relationships with others. Amazing gift for a parent-to-be!
