Book Review - Regret Free Parenting

I recently discovered booksneeze.com.  It is a website that will send you free books as long as you agree to write a review and post it to your blog and another site such as amazon.com or 
barnesandnoble.com.  Since I love to read, I thought this would be a great idea for me.  I got my first book several weeks ago and below you will see my first review.

Just FYI - I was going to have a giveaway and pass along this wonderful book to one of my parent friends, but my little Eli sat a wet washcloth down on top of the book so now it's a little damaged.  Oh well....the joys of motherhood!  :o)  Maybe next time, friends.



“Regret Free Parenting:  Raise Good Kids and Know You're Doing it Right” by Catherine Hickem is a standout when it comes to books on parenting.  This book gives seven principals of intentional motherhood.  Every mother has hopes, desires and visions for her children.  Mothers can’t just “hope” their children turn out to be mature, responsible, caring, Christ-centered adults.  We have to be intentional about helping our children become who God has created them to be.  This book can help every mother to become an intentional mother.

I loved that while this book was practical, it didn’t give step by step instructions that only work for some children.  Regret Free Parenting brings up issues that all mothers know their children need help with and then shows parents how their behavior, words, actions or lack thereof, affects their children.  The book was easy to read.  Each time I read a section I was able to come away with one thing that I could do immediately.  One time it was simply being intentional about telling my kids that I am so happy and blessed because they are my children.

My one suggestion when reading this book is that you read it with a highlighter in hand.  There will be many passages that you want to mark and reread later.  Regret Free Parenting is a great resource for mothers everywhere.

  1. I'm a 1st time dad and was pleased to see our hospital (huge, big-city hospital that delivers 4000 babies a year) using good diapers. I had never changed a diaper so I had the nurse give me detailed instructions. She said the honest diapers are the best.
