An Awesome Book

I've recommended many books in past posts, but I've never written a whole post about one book, until now.  I don't know the author or publisher, so there is nothing in this for me : )  But this is a great book.  I've read many books on parenting little ones over my 20 years of parenting and this is probably one of the best ever.  It's a quick, easy read.  In fact, I finished it in a few days and quickly picked it up again to read it through a second time.  I don't know if I've ever done that with a book.  If you want a good, uplifting, practical book that is worth the money, order this! The author has 5 children under 6 at the time of writing the book, so she knows what she is talking about and is living it too. I put the link at the bottom of this post. Here are a few little nuggets from the book that especially hit a cord with me........


"Your children are not a situation. They are individuals.  Disciplining an individual for a collective situation is a great way to alienate your children." 


"While your children are little, cultivate an attitude of sacrifice. Sacrifice your peace for their fun, your clean kitchen floor for their help cracking eggs.........Prioritize your children far and away above the other work you need to get done. They are the only part of your work that really matters."
