Weird Parenting Wins

Outline

Weird Parenting Wins (2019) collects creative, funny, and surprisingly effective solutions that real parents have discovered for everyday challenges. Hillary Frank gathers ideas for bedtime battles, picky eating, tantrums, and difficult conversations, showing that there is no single right way to raise children. The book reminds parents to trust their instincts and to find humour and connection in the chaos of family life.

• Real parents have found creative, funny and surprisingly effective solutions to everyday challenges, and the book collects them in one place.
• Bedtime battles, picky eating, tantrums and difficult conversations each have unconventional fixes worth trying before giving up.
• There is no single right way to raise children, so a method that suits one family may not suit yours.
• Trusting your own instincts as a parent matters as much as following any expert's rules.
• Humour and genuine connection help a family get through the chaos of daily life better than perfect rules do.

Hillary Frank is an American author, audio producer, and the creator and host of The Longest Shortest Time, an award-winning podcast about parenthood. She has also written novels for young adults. Weird Parenting Wins grew out of stories shared by listeners of her podcast.
