There really is no one true book on parenting.  I mean... there are thousands of books on parenting but no actual manuals or step by step guides that give you practical responses to inevitable situations.  At least not ones that are in line with my (perhaps slightly laid back) parenting compass.  At least not that I’ve found.  So, I'm sharing some secrets on how I deal with some of the typical moments we face as parents, and how to do it without losing your mind!
