US Review of Books recently reviewed Franki Bagdade's book, I Love My Kids, But I Don't Always Like Them , and gave it a RECOMMENDED rating.   Gere is an excerpt from the review: " This book is full of enlightening ideas on how to best approach parenting at its most difficult moments. However, what stands out in Bagdade’s writing is her insightful approach to parenting each child in the home differently. Bagdade emphasizes that because all children are different, they should be parented differently according to the structures and expectations that work best for them. Although this idea sounds overwhelming, the author explains how to achieve this in a way that leaves parents feeling confident and hopeful" Read the remainder of the review HERE .

  From FAABConsulting.com (Franki Bagdade) The Nightmarish 9's (or 8 1/2 or maybe even 10!) First of all, I’m sorry. Thoughts and prayers, sorry. It’s going to be ok. Really, they will come back to you, before they hit tween and then teenager land. Let me tell you a story about the first time 9 joined our family. My easy as pie first child hit 9 and turned into a nightmare. She argued about literally everything. She was 9 going on 19 and no that is not funny or cute. To read the full post, click HERE .

From Franki Bagdade, author of I Love My Kids But I Don't Always Like Them. Taking care of myself, the dreaded "self-care" topic has been on my mind a lot this week. I say dreaded, because if you are anything like me, sometimes when I hear "self-care" I groan. Self-care can feel like another item on my to-do list that I never seem to get to. It can feel like a burden. I believe this is closely connected to my tendency to have "all or nothing thinking." For example, "a productive workout should raise my heart rate and should last at least an hour. I don't have an hour a day to dedicate to that, so I won't work out at all..." This sounds a lot like negative self-talk, doesn't it? I'm guessing if this "find your calm" challenge appealed to you, you may struggle with all or nothing thinking as well or maybe a child in your home or professional role does. So how does this pertain to self-care? Ex. "I don't

  Today's shared blog post comes from Franki Bagdade, author of the award-winning book (IAN Book of the Year, Literary Titan gold medal), I Love My Kids, But I Don't Always Like Them . In her post, Franki writes: Halloween was my Dad’s favorite holiday. My mom would pull out old decorations held together by masking tape and memories and we’d work together to decorate our big picture windows. My Dad would carve elaborate pumpkins, one year making a cabbage patch kid to my pure delight as a child of the 80’s. I have a more complicated relationship with Halloween. It’s hard not to see it as a disruption to the already impossible and overwhelming duties of modern parenthood. Read the rest of the post at  Will Halloween be a Treat or a Trick (substack.com) .

Franki Bagdade, author of I Love My Kids, But I Don't Always Like Them , asks in a recent blog post: I often wonder what my kids will remember when they think back on their childhood.
