Kids Don't Come With A Manual : Book Review & Giveaway

AD

How many time's have you heard the phrase " I wish kids came with a manual?" lots of times I bet, I for one know that I have uttered those very words myself on more than one occasion. Everything you buy these days has a manual, but when you have children who are the most precious thing in the world we are expected to just get on with things on our own.

Being a parent is amazing and yes we do trust our instincts and manage to look after our children just fine. But sometimes it is hard and we second guess ourselves as parents. 


paperback book



And this is where Kids Don't Come With A Manual comes in. A parenting book written by Carole and Nadim Saad, a couple with three daughters. They are parenting coaches who draw upon there own experience of early years education and more importantly being actual parents themselves. Being parents themselves they know how hard it can be and what a juggling act family life can be.

I am not normally a fan of parenting books, in fact, I have never actually read a one before as I always thought they would be fairly strict and tell you what to do. But this book is not like that at all, it understands that every child and every parent is different and that certain approaches won't work for everyone.

The book is broken up into sections making it really easy to read and enabling you to just dip in and out of it whenever you want to. Each section will describe a situation such as being a good role model to your children, it will then show this situation from a more stricter parents point of view and then a more softer or " all heart" parents point of view and also the voice of a child. This really made me think about the situations more and think what kind of a parent I am, and what impact my actions could have on my children. 

There is also a troubleshooting section in the back of the book which lists many challenges we face as parents such as tantrums and sibling fighting. The troubleshooting section offers quick and easy solutions to remedy these problems.

This book really is like some kind of manual to help us through the many parenting challenges we regularly face. You can buy your very own book from  Best Of Parenting Website and one of my readers can win there very own copy by entering the rafflecopter form below.
