Book Description

April 7, 1997
In the best-selling tradition of Kids Say the Darndest Things and Really Important Stuff My Kids Have Taught Me, this warm and funny book offers 147 truly wise parenting tips in the words and handwriting of kids who don't always know how to spell, but always know what they need.

If kids came with an instruction manual, this would be it -- a clever and poignant collection of suggestions, observations and reminders to parents from the experts themselves (kids 6-12).  Organized into three sections:  (Love and Caring, Family and Friends, and Guidance and Independence), these one- or two-line requests will bring a smile to your face, a lump to your throat, and a renewed sense of confidence that you can give your kids the love and support they deserve.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, not educational, August 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Always Kiss Me Good Night: Instructions on Raising the Perfect Parent by 147 Kids Who Know (Paperback)
Helps you see your parenting through your kids' eyes. If you're looking for an instruction manual, this isn't it. This is a sweet wake-up call to us hurried, harried parents to stop and smell the roses -- and spend time with our kids. I agree it should go out in new baby bags (instead of the ubiquitous formula and other medical-model parenting tools and info).

5.0 out of 5 stars a must for every parent or parent-to-be!!!, September 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Always Kiss Me Good Night: Instructions on Raising the Perfect Parent by 147 Kids Who Know (Paperback)
I cannot recommend this book enough! If you like "Love You Forever" you will LOVE this book! I find myself crying every time I read it! Amazingly simple requests from real children. What other parenting guide does one need? This book is an absolute treasure!

This review is from: Always Kiss Me Good Night: Instructions on Raising the Perfect Parent by 147 Kids Who Know (Paperback)
I read about 10 pages of this book and I knew I needed it. Any parent that can read this book from cover to cover without sheding a tear needs to be nominated for parent of the century. Tear some of these pages out and place them around the house so you can remember that your kids are just that... KIDS! They were not meant to run a household or cook dinner.. they are KIDS.. let them enjoy life.

Read this book.. I ordered two books.. one for me and one for my ex-wife.
