Review Quotes:
"Parenting isn't something I question about myself. It came natural and while I struggle like everyone, I felt comfortable in this role. When I hear advice or read these types of books it's mostly eye rolls because I already know this. However, this book took me on a different path. I loved the self-reflecting work. I needed this to help guide me to really look at my parenting. There are parts of my parenting that I had expressly thought about and this book leads you on a parenting journal. My philosophies are concrete and I have a good foundation to build from." -Amazon Review
"I fully recommend this workbook to anyone who is looking to put what they've learned from the companion book into practice. The workbook challenged me with thought provoking questions and examples I can use while parenting my own child. I intend on using this workbook to help me sharpen my parenting skills and continue to reflect, connect, and respond to any situation while parenting." -Amazon Review
