To make this book practical for busy parents, I have broken each of the eight tools into 5 brief chapters. No matter how busy you are, you can read a few pages at a time. Each chapter ends with a practical tip that will help you remember the main point of that chapter and a follow-up thought or action to consider that you can put into practice that very day.
I have written five parenting books (faith based), which you can learn more about on the Books page. I have presented many parenting workshops at mom’s conferences (Hearts at Home, MOPS International), MOPS groups, churches, and schools, which you can read about on the Workshop page. I have also recently developed a skill-building game for kids called The Flexible Thinking Game.
In my free time, I enjoy doing anything with my wife, spending time with my boys whenever possible, reading, running, and playing jazz piano any chance I get. My Christian faith is an important part of my life and thinking, and I am continually thankful for God’s grace, of which I am an undeserving recipient.
My review: WOW, this couldn't have come at a better time! Just when spring fever hits and the kids somehow translates this into meaning that no school needs to get done and listening to mom is not really high on their priority list! I needed the tips and tools presented in this book! Just like we have very handy kitchen tools that make our jobs easier in the kitchen, this book is full of the tools that make parenting easier! I will share the tools but you will want to buy the book to learn how to use them!
