The Paranoid Parents Guide: Are You Worrying About The Right Things?
The Paranoid Parents Guide: Are You Worrying About The Right Things?
I came across a great new book just in time for Back To School, The Paranoid Parents Guide: Worry Less, Parent Better and Raise A Resilient Child (by C Barnes) and I really love it! It is the perfect book to read as you are getting yourself and your kids organized and ready for a new school year. The book talks about how parents waste their time worrying about the wrong things – things that likely will never happen like:
1. Kidnapping
2. School Snipers
3. Terrorism
4. Stranger Danger
5. Drugs
6. Vaccinations
Instead, parents should take steps to make sure they protect their kids from things like:
1. Car Accidents – Wear Seatbelts Use Boosters
2. Drowning
3. Unintentional Poisoning
4. Bike Accidents – Wear Helmets
The book also arms parents with facts and helps them focus on the important things to worry about and take preventative measures to prevent from happening. Pick up the book. You will really enjoy it.
