When your toddler's bowel movements seem more important
than world peace, mealtimes require strategic negotiations,
and you haven't had a night out in eight months, it's time
to admit something needs to change. Let Gay Uncle Brett
Berk take you by the hand and walk you down the path to
parental enlightenment. With over twenty years of
experience working with young children, but no kids of his
own, Brett uses his expert outsider's perspective to break
moms and dads out of the Parenting Bubble, an alternate
universe where under-table dining, Everest-like toy piles,
and hourly tantrums somehow seem "normal". Packed full of
candid advice, handy checklists, and hilarious stories of
parents even crazier than you, The Gay Uncle's Guide to
Parenting reveals how consistency, patience, and keeping
your emotions in check are key to overcoming almost any
parenting struggle, and will help your kids gain the
structure they need to develop and learn new skills, and
allow you to be a person as well as a parent. - Learn how to form a Sitter Stable, and get out of the
house on a regular basis
- Read about how Lifeboating--carting around too much stuff-
-limits your child's development, and how you can avoid it
- Discover the magic of the EAR Method for talking to kids:
Explain, Adjust, Redirect. (It really works!)
- Uncover the truth behind tantrumming, and find out how
you can put out the fire instead of fanning the flames
