Weird Parenting Wins

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 mum who made a "flat daddy" out of cardboard and sat it at the dinner table when her kids were missing their deployed military father.Every parent and kid is unique and as we get to know our kids, we can work out what makes them tick. Because this is an ongoing process, WEIRD PARENTING WINS 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).
