Parenting Sensibly: Turning Messes into Success is a practical “how to”/ self help guide full of honest, helpful, step by step tools and advice on parenting. It is incredibly interesting, but more importantly it is informative, educational and easy to understand. All my children are grown up now, but I wish this book had been available when I first became a mother, it would have made it a less stressful experience. I will definitely be recommending it to my children and friends who are starting their own families, as I think there is a lot of very helpful information here.
Thought provoking wisdom!
Thank you, Ms. Satre!

Im not a big fan of self help books or the like but as this book mentions, most parents feel the need to be the best, be prefect etc, and that drew me is. What i didn’t expect was to finish this book with a sense to actually want to apply sone things and also it helped me to learn more about myself and my kids.
There were some things that wouldn’t work for our family but may work for others! This was an amazing book and will be going back to this for reference quite often. Thank you for this!

5 out of 5 stars
Parenting Sensibly: Turning Messes Into Successes by Lynda Satre is a book that shows the importance of building relationships and communicating with your children while raising them. I found it to be very well-written with so many wonderful ideas and suggestions for child rearing. I love that the author gives so many examples on how to put her suggestions into use in day to day life. Many of them are from her own experience of raising her children and I found that they add a personal touch to the book. It is a book that applies to raising children both when young and as they grow up into young adults as well. At the end of each chapter, the author includes questions for you to answer in regards to your own family and also exercises that help put her advice into use. This is a book that helps you navigate through the ups and downs, the joy and the challenges of parenting and how to do so in a way that helps with frustrating circumstances. I found myself thinking back to the way I was raised. I enjoyed reading about the differences in parenting styles and how some work better than others. This book is a tool that you can reference back to in each stage of your child’s development.
