Keep Your Sanity is a succinct read packed with valuable insight about how rein in naughty children--with love, respect, and guidance, no reins necessary!
As someone of childbearing age, I have tons of questions on my mind, and my own insecurities about whether or not I have what it takes to qualify for the awesome task of parenting. Keep Your Sanity offers a wide variety of scenarios and solutions--and most importantly, a paradigm--for how to truly motivate your children to respect you, and how to cultivate an open relationship.
(I wish I had understood some of the underlying principles in the book when I was an unruly teenager, I may have looked at the world differently!)
The only reason I rated four stars, rather than five, was purely for the non-standard formatting of the dialogue. The dialogue itself flows beautifully, but the format did throw a curve ball to my reading eyes.
This book is a gem for anyone who wants to cultivate a loving, inspiring relationship with their children, rather than dominate them into obedience or have a life dominated by them. Sometimes I wonder where the common sense went in today's world--I was happy to find a wealth of it here, told in an inviting, enjoyable conversation.
