Think raising kids is child’s play? Relying on intuition and advice and the concept of a “village” of people to help them may have worked for parents in the past, but parenting today isn’t as simple as it used to be. Kids have so many pressures and so many choices, that often a parent doesn’t know what to do to help them succeed. How much discipline is enough and how much is too much? How do you encourage self-esteem? What’s the best way to talk to a cranky toddler—or a sulky teen? Because Kids Don’t Come With Manuals®: Contemporary Advice For Parents can show you how! Whether you’re thinking about having a child, pregnant, or already a parent of a toddler or a teen, this wise, witty manual is chock full of insightful tips, resources, quotes, helpful summaries, great advice and lots of free gifts. The book is meant to offer practical advice by taking examples from the art of business and applying it to the art of parenting Child rearing, says Nocera is a journey for both parent and child, much like a bus ride from infancy to adulthood, and if you remember that the parent is the driver, you won’t stall or run out of gas as you test-drive solutions—and you’ll both enjoy the ride. Parenting in today’s society is truly an art, and now, thanks to Nocera, raising happy and independent kids can be child’s play!
