Read more about the book below or jump straight to Amazon: The Book of Questions for New Parents
When we arrived in Australia, I had an idea banging around in my head that I wanted to explore. As a new parent, I longed for a parenting book that would prompt discussion with my partner and inspire us to establish our own family culture.
Hence, the idea took shape for The Book of Questions for New Parents.
A lot of the questions in this book are examples of real life discussions that my husband Rich and I have faced. Rich and I have been married for almost 18 years and we have three children: Pixel, Robert and Beckett. In truth, we often disagree when it comes to parenting styles.
A seemingly simple topic like, "Boxed sugar cereal and should we serve it to our children for breakfast," will send us into a heated debate about sugar, processed food, health, and good habits.
Rich and I have very different ideas and we are not unique. After countless hours chatting with other moms in neighborhood parks and assorted mom and kid hangout spots, people in the same house oftentimes have very different approaches to parenting.
When it comes to differences, a good conversation can result in a clear solution.
It is my hope that The Book of Questions for New Parents will elicit thoughtful conversations in relationships–conversations that will lead to a resolute understanding, a clarity of purpose and a strong family.
Shelly, this is so awesome! If I was having children I would totally read this book, in fact I might just read it anyway :)
