About the book – The New Art of Raising Happy Kids
The book is a step-by-step parent guide with practical and updated advice on how to address parenting’s most perplexing issues during all the critical stages of childhood — from babies to teens. It covers thorny issues such as managing sleep and nutrition, getting kids to exercise (and off screens), navigating social media, dealing with bullying issues and so much more. It’s a must-read and refer-back book for anyone who has kids and wants them to grow up to be healthy, happy adults with good habits and positive attitudes.

As I read through the book (especially the topics relevant to my tween son), I loved how it breaks into very small sections. When it comes to topics like emotional health, communication and more within the book you get quick, small paragraph points. The organization is fantastic and it makes this book so easy to read and use as a reference to come back to.
