“This is a terrific book. It affirmed some of my parenting, and yet I didn’t feel condemned for the ways in which I failed. . . . Even now, I can apply the transferable concepts to my grandmothering, and I will buy each of my children a copy of this book. I highly recommend it to you.”
“Parents, we need this special book. In the face of a busy life and active kids, so many of us are just trying to survive!

But in these pages, Jim Burns gives us exactly the encouragement and tools we need to put the words confident and parenting together.”
