Weird Parenting Wins

<b>Unconventional--yet effective--parenting strategies carefully curated by the creator of the popular podcast <i>The Longest Shortest Time</i></b> <p/>Some of the best parenting advice that Hillary Frank ever received did not come from parenting experts but from friends and podcast listeners who acted on a whim often in moments of desperation. These weird parenting wins were born of moments when the expert advice wasn't working and instead of freaking out these parents had a stroke of genius. For example there's the dad who pig-snorted in his baby's ear to get her to stop crying and the mom who made a flat daddy out of cardboard and sat it at the dinner table when her kids were missing their deployed military father. <br> Every parent and kid is unique and as we get to know our kids we can figure out what makes them tick. Because this is an ongoing process <i>Weird Parenting Wins</i> covers children of all ages ranging in topics from The Art of Getting Your Kid to Act Like a Person (on hygiene potty training and manners) to The Art of Getting Your Kid to Tell You Things (because eventually they're going to be tight-lipped). You may find that someone else's weird parenting win works for you or you might be inspired to try something new the next time you're stuck in a parenting rut. Or maybe you'll just get a good laugh out of the mom who got her kid to try beets because...it might turn her poop pink.
