The Original Parent and Family Logbook
McGuire and Mennie, Blossom Publishing Company
Today's families are busy, and parents frequently look
for feasible ways to help them to focus on what is most important to
them and communicate their values to their children within the limits of
their hectic daily schedules. The Original Parent and Family Logbook
boils down the essential components of a wide range of parenting
approaches into a useful, practical tool to enhance family life.
With the goal of building families of confidence, competence and
character, McGuire and Mennie help the readers to be smart, reflective
parents, but not in the academic sense. With an acknowledgement that
each family is unique, these talented dads have provided a collection of
practical parenting pointers, enlightening family activities, and family
memory builders and written them in the same manner as they might talk
to you while standing in the sidelines at a soccer game. They clearly
have a passion for parenting, and their passion is contagious to the
reader.
As I read through the logbook, I became immediately challenged and
motivated as a professional to help families by using the ideas in the
program. At the same time, I was inspired and encouraged to become a
better parent and shown the way to begin. McGuire and Mennie celebrate
families and children with The Original Parent and Family Logbook, and
do it in a way that every family can share in the celebration.
