  • Keris - thank you so much for this!! I'm a big goofball with my daughter sometimes and have been wondering lately if I needed to be a bit more hard-nosed. My husband and I both work, so we're always battling the guilt that comes with that and wondering if we're getting enough 'quality time'. One of the ways we work this in everyday is an hour spent exclusively with her playing on the floor (or wherever it happens to take place that day) when we come home. No interuptions for TV, phones, computers, getting dinner ready - just play. It's been great...

I thought that may be a little overboard but it had some other good suggestions for some precautions I haven’t thought about. Last year my youngest son came down with a massive fever after Halloween. I almost thought about just taking the kids to our church’s fall festival this year instead of door-to-door to prevent that from happening again. I don’t know yet. What’s your advice? Am I over-reacted or just being a concerned mom?

  • Playful parenting is the best way of parenting, I have been following this from last three years!
  • My husband is a playful parent and he sometimes teases me to relax and enjoy. I guess I am a strict parent and I need to read this book. Thanks for the review and I'm enlightened to know that I really need to relax and enjoy our kids.
