Great advice submitted by denisekim on July 19, 2023, 8:15pm I really enjoyed reading this book and thought the advice was very helpful. I applied some of the techniques to my kids (ages 3-5) and they worked to encourage kids to get ready faster, help around the house, tidy up toys, etc.

This book left a lot to be desired submitted by rgchalfant on July 21, 2023, 11:11pm Facebook started out strong for me and I loved the idea of incorporating the kids into what I’m doing in my every day life. But it quickly dropped off the subsequent chapters and I found a lot of the information inapplicable and sort of outlandish? I can’t imagine ever calling my child a baby for doing something, which the author suggests. Author had a very “sanctimom” attitude that I didn’t appreciate and I didn’t feel as though she was fully giving credit to the families and women who she interviewed.
