Representaion Concering Books No Regrets Parenting: Turning Long Days and Short Years into Cherished Moments with Your Kids

No Regrets Parenting is a book for busy parents in our busy times. Many parents find the challenges of being all things to all people daunting. How to do it all? How to stay sane while trying to do it all?No Regrets Parenting teaches parents to experience the joy and depth of the parenting experience amidst the chaos and choreography of daily routines. Car pool, bath time, soccer practice, homework, dinner hour, and sleepovers all become more than just hurdles to overcome to get through the day. They are opportunities for intimate and meaningful time with young kids. It's not how much time you have with your kids, but how you spend that time that matters in the life and legacy of a young family. No Regrets Parenting helps parents find the time to do it all and feel good about their kids' childhood.

There is a simple, single truth for every parent. Your kids need you to be there. They need to see who you are and how you live your life. And, in return, they will help you to better see who you are and how you should be living your life. No Regrets Parenting is about time. Finding enough of it and making the most of it.

"My office is littered with parenting books... The books, as abundant as they are, aren't helping... But Dr. Rotbart's No Regrets Parenting is something special." --KJ Dell'Antonia, New York Times

"I'm making a point of holding hands with my kids more often, ever since I read Dr. Harley Rotbart's new book... Dr. Rotbart made me realize I shouldn't count the minutes, but the moments... Dr. Rotbart's book turned my head around." --Dana Points, Editor-in-Chief, Parents magazine

"Time passes all too fast, and when the kids do leave home, readers who followed Rotbart's blueprint will greet their children's departure with satisfaction of a job well done." --Publisher's Weekly

"Puts the control back in the parent's hands, by focusing on the time a parent does have with children, instead of focusing on the time that the parent doesn't have...feels like a knowledgeable friend sharing their own insight." --Cara Lemieux, ABC News

Article Regarding Books No Regrets Parenting: Turning Long Days and Short Years into Cherished Moments with Your Kids

Showed up on another list as a must read book for parents. We have this book in our library parenting collection. I just read it. First, for the busy parent there are too many words and not enough bubbles of information. If someone cannot figure out the most important job in the world is being a parent and the most important thing is to spend time - forget the circulation of this book. It was purchased this year and has yet to be taken out. I briefly checked other circulation statistics a other

This book is a great reminder of how to build good relationships with your kids. It's easy to read, practical and helpful. My favorite quote: "Be the kind of person you hope your kids will become. And then spend enough time with them that they learn how to become that person."

some really good ideas in here, too... but also parts that feel very dated, especially for a book that's only 6 years old.

The only part of this book I found remotely interesting was the fact that it said "There are only 940 Saturdays between a child's birth and her leaving for college...if your child is five years old, 260 Saturdays are already gone." And that is only likely because my daughter is about to be 5. The remainder of the book was spent telling you it would give you great ideas in the scond half of the book, which I felt was lacking. Basically a reminder to unplug and prioritize while you still can.

The blurb on the back cover screamed: "Time-Management Magic for Stressed-Out Parents", which is a bit of a hyperbole because much of it is common sense, not magic.Still, if you're looking for a book with bite-sized tips on how to create shared moments out of fleeting minutes with your kids, this might be right up your alley.As the author puts it, the book is not written to be read from cover to cover. Most of the chapters are short. Some of them barely stretch to one page and not all "chapters"

I came across this book in a round-about way. Dr. Rotbarts more recent book was mentioned in a magazine (probably Parents). That one wasnt available at my library, but this one was. It sounded interesting, so I requested it.I have 11 and 14-year-old step-daughters who have been part of my life since they were three and five. Additionally, I now have my own 17 month old son and another on her way. The fact that the days are long but the years are short is something I am intimately familiar with.

Overall the information in this book is pretty good, though some tips (like returning pets to shelters if your kid doesn't care for them) are terrible. Also the suggestions for what to text to your kids are so off base I couldn't help but laugh (seriously, it sometimes felt like Rotbart was writing this book for grandparents). My main complaint is that it was super boring to read. The chapters were short, thankfully, but the writing was bland. I do take it as a good sign that most of these
