“One of the hardest parts of parenting is that you have to just figure things out as you go along - how to convince your kid that vegetables aren't poison, how to teach him not to bite other kids, how to instill the belief that going out in public without pants is not optional. And you do figure things out eventually, but not until after you've had quite a few missteps, tears, and apologies. This book takes the guesswork out of tough parenting situations by giving you the exactly right thing to say to your child. Hospitals should buy millions of copies of this book and send one home with every new parent.”
