For me, this is about as close to a parenting bible as I’ve found. This is where I got the system for the allowance and other great ideas. @betsybrownbraun’s other book, Just Tell Me What To Say is also fantastic and has gotten us through tough questions (so far) with far more confidence. Highly highly highly recommend them. – Laura
