The other day I got a copy of Parking Lot Rules and 70 Other Ideas for Raising Amazing Kids. This guidebook for raising amazing kids contains practical advice for today’s parents no matter if you are single or married.
In the hustle and bustle of life it’s easy to allow time and grown-up obligations get in the way of raising your kids. The author, Tom Sturges, shares easy tips and techniques to make the parenting process both practical and personally rewarding.
Parking Lot Rules, Fingers Fingers, and Once Seen, Never Unseen are just a sampling of the innovative pointers the author shares. Want to keep your kids safe and aware of the danger around them? Teach them the Parking Lot Rules so they will stay close or teach them Fingers Fingers to keep their 10 digits secure. Physical danger is not the only thing we have to keep our children from. Their minds must also be kept safe so remembering the Once Seen, Never Unseen technique is a must for all parents.
Parking Lot Rules and 70 Other Ideas for Raising Amazing Kids is an excellent handbook for the mothers and fathers who feel lost in the jungle of parenting. Kids don’t come with a manual, but with Tom Sturges’ book you could be well on your way to raising amazing, well-adjusted kids!
All the best and much success!
