Parenting Check!



I have been blessed with two wonderful boys.  I never really questioned my parenting techniques until my oldest one turned 17.  This was right about the time I chose to review Regret Free Parenting by Catherin Hickem.  Her book was very easy to read, but I have to admit it did take me several months to get into the book.  I finally made my self sit down and read it.  I then read it over a period of two days.Even though I felt like much of the information in the book was common sense for parenting, it was still very encouraging and validating.  She made me see that even though I was frustrated with parenting at the time, I was still "doing it right".  

I really enjoyed looking at and reflecting on the "faith facts" and the questions at the end of each chapter.  it made me really focus on my parenting and how important it is ti be there physically and emotionally for my children.  Also, the Intentional Parenting Plan at the end of the book, allowed me to see where I needed to work on my parenting.  Overall, this book was very good.  It is a great book to come back to again and again when it feels like you need to be a better parent.
