I picked up the book to read a couple of pages and ended up reading most of it at one stretch! The examples given with hidden insights are worth reading! The author has complied various topics into this book and made it an interesting book for every parent. Would recommended each parent to grab his copy of the same and enjoy!
Divya has written this book with honesty and incorporated anecdotes from other parents as well to give a wider perspective to the reader. Must read for all parents. Wishing her all the best and looking forward to reading more from the author.
What an enchanting reading!!
From experiences to experiences, you end up being enriched and more equipped as a parent to deal with tricky situations.
The author has dealt with life and its challenges in a very sensitive way….some descriptions are etched in my mind forever. Most of the time you are smiling, but there are some sections that is bound to leave you in tears.
I would also point out the questionnaire at the end of every chapter, which not only leads to thinking critically about your parenting skills but also sometimes makes you go back to the chapter and read it again! Very well organised…
All in all its a must-read book. Highly highly appreciated and recommend.
Looking forward to more…
Thank you inditimes for this report. I have ordered the book and am eagerly waiting to read it during the winter break. I wonder if one could contact the writer?
