Today for a few moments I flipped through a book here at the office that I wish I could have given to my parents a couple years ago (except the book has just released this month):
Not-So-Stupid-Parents
Why Your Kids Think You're Weird and How to Prove Otherwise
by: Haley DiMarco
I think my parents could have definitely gained some insightful knowledge from this book...especially since they raised 4 daughters in the past 27 years. My poor dad. Too much estrogen in our house!
What I really like about this book is how real it is...not sugar coated but really tells parents that teens now are growing up in such a different world then they did. Even the difference between my older sisters generation, mine and the youngest. (Oh and the section about nagging? Enlighting!)
I don't know if I'll completely read this book but I do enjoy reading about other's perspectives of parents today.
