No Regrets Parenting: Turning Long Days and Short Years into Cherished Moments with Your Kids by Harley A. Rotbart

2.0

Overall the information in this book is pretty good, though some tips (like returning pets to shelters if your kid doesn't care for them) are terrible. Also the suggestions for what to text to your kids are so off base I couldn't help but laugh (seriously, it sometimes felt like Rotbart was writing this book for grandparents). My main complaint is that it was super boring to read. The chapters were short, thankfully, but the writing was bland. I do take it as a good sign that most of these things I already sort of planned on doing, thanks in large part to the way I was raised, so good job raising me mom and dad. But I also think this book is full of a lot of common sense, at least for parents who really are concerned with developing a loving, trusting relationship with their kids.
