Summary

Through zany, innovative tips and "true confessions" of seasoned moms and dads, Silvana Clark shows you how imagination and spontaneity can be a vital part of your parenting job -- and create a more fun, positive atmosphere in your home. You'll meet parents who serve Poached Lizard Lips for dinner, cut the cord of their television sets, and give their children "Get out of Bed Free" cards. You'll also read traditional and helpful hints on keeping kids occupied on car trips and how to make chores more palatable. Tip by surprising tip, you can motivate, build up, and care for your kids in a whole new way. And while these ideas may be slightly off-the-wall, the good news is, they really work! Book jacket.
