Review:
"Rarely do parenting books trigger in me an exhale. But the title alone for Heather Shumaker's new book came like that rare August breeze."
-The Washington Post "On Parenting" "An insightful, sensible and compassionate book full of downright revolutionary ideas."
-Salon.com "Brilliant. . . . It's OK Not to Share is an enlightening book that will make you take a second look at everything you believe."
-Parents.com "Did you read the title and think, what the heck? Me, too. Not only did I read it to figure out the title, I underlined about a third-it's that good."
-Melissa Taylor, ImaginationSoup.net "What an amazing book! [Shumaker] challenge[s] the parenting myths and fallacies that our society has embraced for so long."
-Provider Resource Organization "A breath of fresh air."
-Jane Pratt, founder of xoJane.com "These 'renegade rules' will resonate with what you know to be true, speak to what you want most for your children, and teach you how to achieve it. Don't let this one slip off your reading list."

-Paula Spencer Scott, author of Momfidence! "A refreshing change from the usual admonitions. . . Shumaker's Renegade Rules are based on what children really need."

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Parenting can be such an overwhelming job that it's easy to lose track of where you stand on some of the more controversial subjects at the playground (What if my kid likes to rough house-isn't this ok as long as no one gets hurt? And what if my kid just doesn't feel like sharing?). In this inspiring and enlightening book, Heather Shumaker describes her quest to nail down "the rules" to raising smart, sensitive, and self-sufficient kids. Drawing on her own experiences as the mother of two small children, as well as on the work of child psychologists, pediatricians, educators and so on, in this book Shumaker gets to the heart of the matter on a host of important questions. Hint- many of the rules aren't what you think they are!The "rules" in this book focus on the toddler and preschool years-an important time for laying the foundation for competent and compassionate older kids and then adults. Here are a few of the rules-.It's OK if it's not hurting people or property.Bombs, guns and bad guys allowed.Boys can wear tutus.Pictures don't have to be pretty.Paint off the paper!.Sex ed starts in preschool.Kids don't have to say "Sorry.".Love your kid's lies.IT'S OK NOT TO SHARE is an essential resource for any parent hoping to avoid PLAYDATEGATE (i.e. your child's behavior in a social interaction with another child clearly doesn't meet with another parent's approval)!Parenting can be such an overwhelming job that it's easy to lose track of where you stand on some of the more controversial subjects at the playground (What if my kid likes to rough house-isn't this ok as long as no one gets hurt?

Hollywood celebrities are doing it. Corporate moguls are doing it. Even one glowing ex-president is living testimony to the extraordinary health benefits of the vegan lifestyle.
