Ever wondered what the proper etiquette for a play date is or how you should address a tattle-tale..... as a parent it is so easy to not know the answer to these questions. Unfortunately they were not even things I truly thought about until I was in the spur of the moment trying to solve a problem. I wish I would have found this book sooner!
Answer Keys: Teacher's Lesson Plans for Successful Parenting is an awesome, easy to read parenting book that I will likely use as a reference guide in the future. Laid out to address specific problems and give specific examples to how help solve your child's problems while giving them independence and helping them become successful. The book is written from four different experienced teachers who are parents themselves. I loved how they shared personal experience with their own children or children they dealt with in their classrooms. I also loved how fresh each writing style is and it varies from author to author. I also love that there are action plans... "homework" per se to work on in your own home.
Honestly, I couldn't put the book down the first night I got it... I read I think half... and realized that I would later need to reread to actually utilize later on. I refer this book to any new parent... but also any parent who has elementary children or any range. This ranks in my top 10 favorite parenting books. Thanks First Reads for such an awesome read. I loved it.
PS After working covering education at a newspaper in rural Idaho, I found it absolutely refreshing that teachers had high expectations for parents to truly do the parenting.I love the fact that teachers wrote this book with the parent in mind.... they see things that parents who are not in the school system do. TOTALLY LOVED IT!

*I got this book as an ARC through the Goodreads FirstReads program.*
I love the way this book is organized- it really is what makes this book different from other parenting books that I've seen. I don't have children, so I can't say whether the advise is good in practice or not, but I'll definitely be trying out some of these techniques when I have kids to raise.
