Hard to read

Revisado: 05-11-23

I found the narrator voice (which is the author) to be very grating. In this tone of voice so much of the writing sounds like someone talking down to parents like they are children. I preferred Peaceful Parenting over this and would recommend reading it first and reading this after if you still want more content. Many of the strategies she mentions are from that source (but peaceful parenting had more evidence/strategies/explanations). The author has a lot of random ideas/“facts” with few if any sources cited for those concepts. Often the tone is very preachy. I wouldn’t recommend it to someone not yet committed to gentle parenting. There’s some good content, not the first title I’d recommend to folks though.

Perfect

Powerful, honest, poignant. Hannah takes the reader along side her journey as a queer person on the spectrum and it’s hard and lovely all at once. You should read this.

Good aside from some bias

Revisado: 08-03-22

I think this is great resource about Montessori but have to note that there are random statements that show the author can be jaded at times. References to “classical” art and music and statements about “proper” grammar show a strong penchant for classism and racial bias. This book doesn’t take into account that Montessori should be inclusive to all dialects, classes, and cultures. When the author mentions these; ignore it. Montessori was made for neurodiverse learners experiencing poverty. However in this book neurodiverse learners are ignored and not discussed. I hope the author does better but I also hope readers know that Montessori is more thoughtful about these things than the author. Still this is a very detailed helpful resource.

Wonderful collection! I'm working on integrating contemplative prayer and reflective time in my day to day and this is a wonderful resource. I will warn that as an assault survivor, the prayer for victims came on during my drive to work and it was triggering. However, in the quiet of my home, that moment would have been very powerful and a needed prayer. There are gritty moments in here so just be aware they are coming depending where you are listening. This collection is beautiful and needed.

funny guy but not narrator

Revisado: 02-18-15

I liked the premise and themes. I liked getting to know gaffigan. the book just wasn't as good as a show. I wish he'd done voices and that the book didn't concentrate purely on parenthood. worth the 6 bucks for though.
