Review: Even June Cleaver Would Forget the Juice Box

I have gotten to review some really awesome products for ParentBloggers. Recently, I signed up to review "Even Junce Cleaver Would Forget the Juice Box: Cut Yourself Some Slack (and Still Raise Great Kids) in the Age of Extreme Parenting." How's that for a title?

The thing I like about this book is it told me what I already know: I'm doing just fine.

Though I do feel this book has a worthwhile message, for the most part I didn't 'click' with this book. I understand what author Ann Dunnewold is trying to get at: we're too hard on ourselves. Our minds go on autopilot and it's difficult to shut off the diatribes in our head about what a "horrible" mom we are. We find ourselves caught up in the never ending cycle of "I could do more." Parenting in today's world can be a pressure cooker.

The book is broken down into three sections: The Problem, The Solution, and Sharing the Solution. Perhaps my favorite part of Sharing the Solution is the list of 'like-minded' websites to visit.

As for doing my part on Sharing the Solution, leave me a comment if you want this book. I'll do a random drawing and announce the winner on Friday.
