My Take on the Book

This book did an amazing job at opening my eyes to the many different thing that I will be needing to be thinking about as my girls get older. With the practical examples provided throughout the book the book is so easy to follow and read and you can actually see yourself in the situations and it makes you mentally think to yourself, what would I do in this situation.

The book was straight-forward and provided easy to follow advice on how to be able to let go gradually and calmly while maintaining the respect and decorum that you want as your children grow. It also gives you all of the tools to help your child to be a healthy well-adjusted child as they get older and transition into making choices for themselves instead of having you make the choices for them.

All-in-all, this was a great book, that any parent should read, you will not be disappointed!
