Here at DestinyBaby we usually focus on educating toddlers and preschoolers, but sometimes a little parental education is in order! If you are looking for a nice gift for a new parent in your life, consider this book of real-life parenting stories. There are 31 funny, shocking, and heartwarming stories to be found, each of which could make you laugh or cringe (depending) but mostly smile with recognition as you read what other parents have gone through (good and bad) with their newly willful two and three year old toddlers. The authors keep it real, with stories that include incidents where parents have (regrettably) found themselves yelling or swearing to or in front of their kids, and one where a parent is fantasizing after being bored in a park on a playdate. Those chapters might ruffle some feathers, but I appreciate other parents sharing honest moments. I’ve had some days where I wished I could have handled my son’s temper tantrums or bouts of extreme silliness a little better, and it is interesting to see how others deal with those trying moments. Bottom line, the book is a good read and mostly about the funny times and amazing ways our youngest children can open our eyes to appreciate the world in whole new ways. (Read more…)
