The Potentially Sane Mother’s Guide to Raising Young Children
Apr 5th, 2007 by Bethany
Long title, I know, but it's the title of a charming book by Tamara Fackrell I'm re-reading that my mother gave me a couple years ago for Christmas. It's probably best suited for mothers of children 2- to 8-years-old, but I think it would be useful for any mother or potential mother. It comes with tons of practical ideas about everything from discipline to chores to giving Mom a break. Written in the thick of motherhood, this book has real-to-life stories in an optimistic and honest voice about young children and how to help them learn good values and skills, along with helpful insights into how to maintain your own sanity in the process. Each chapter includes activities that can be used for FHE or other family times, and there are even recipes at the end of the book. If you're looking for parenting book, this is a great place to start.
