Shameless Plug

One of my best girlfriends just published an e-book that is my new parenting bible. I can vouch for it since I got to read the whole thing as one of her editors. It's aimed at smart, thoughtful parents who want to help instill character and discipline in their young child(ren) in a positive way. The book is chock full of ideas grounded not only in research and theory, but practical experience. I particularly love the plentiful examples of how to handle a variety of parenting situations, as well as tools to reduce frustration (both yours and your kid's). Mandy is a bona fide child development expert, as well as a seasoned teacher who also trains educators on classroom management and best practices.

Go to her website to find out more about the book, read reviews, and get a sneak peek of the first few pages. For the next five days you can enter the coupon code NotJustCute to get your copy at a discounted price. Hurry and start reading and then let me know when you've finished. Hooray for practical, common sense parenting advice!
