Ordinary People, Extraordinary Advice: Parenting

Ordinary people are not so “ordinary”. No matter what their cultural background, level of education or financial status, they have learned from the university of life. The most useful information can often come from the most unlikely of sources. This book showcases the extraordinary advice that comes out of the mouths of ordinary people. Random people were asked the same question. “If a famous television talk-show host were to put a microphone in front of you and ask for your best one-sentence advice on parenting, what would you say?” Here are fifty of their answers. It is fascinating that different people would have so many different responses to the same question. What shaped each answer was something that person was either dealing with right now, or had struggled with earlier in life. The question really made them think, and want to assist others who might be facing the same issues. In this book, you will see yourself both as a parent and an adult child to your aging parents, should you be lucky enough to still have them. May this book give you insights in increase the happiness in your life and in the lives of those you love.
