“If you wait long enough, you will find a parenting book that endorses your style of mothering. Mine was just published … the book that argues why laid-back parents raise healthier and happier kids. Appropriately titled, The Idle Parent is a refreshing change to most of the parenting books on the market.”
–Beliefnet
“Wise, funny, practical and personal, The Idle Parent puts the fun back into parenting.”
