4.0 out of 5 stars Review of Parachutes for Parents, June 12, 2000

This review is from: Parachutes for Parents: 12 New Keys to Raising Children for a Better World (Paperback)

As a mother of three children under five, I tend to read many parenting books. Parachutes for Parents is one of the few that I've considered worth keeping. I find many of the author's views to be original and yet very wise and sensible. In particular, I like her idea of 'access without entertaining'. I also think that she deals very well with sibling rivalry. We have put many of her theories into practice to great effect. She is also very clear about boundaries, which I find useful to reread every so often. I highly recommend Parachutes for Parents. It is written from the heart with lots of insight. My only criticism is that it is a bit long-winded at times.

The book arrived on time, was honestly reviewed (had some earmarks and was a little worn). I would definitely buy from this seller again!! Plus, the book itself if excellent.
