No-nonsense, sanity-saving insights from the Washington Post on Parenting columnist--for anyone who's drowning in parental pressure and advice that doesn't work.

Parenting coach and Washington Post columnist Meghan Leahy feels your pain. Like her clients and readers, she grew weary of the endless "shoulds" of modern parenting--along with the simplistic rules and advice that often hurt more than help. Filled with insights based on child development and hard-won lessons in the trenches, this honest guide presents a new approach, offering permission to practice imperfect parenting with a strong dose of common sense, empathy, and laughter. You'll gain perspective on trusting your gut, picking your battles, and when to question what's "normal" (as opposed to what works best for your child).

About The Expert Tina Crowther has been caring for children off and on for over 20 years. She started babysitting kids at the age 12. She enjoys caring for kids, so much so that took some child-related courses in college, such as child psychology. Babysitting wasn’t just about watching kids for Tina, it was to understand them and interact with them at their age level. Back when Tina Crowther was growing up she was more of a tomboy; she climbed trees, played tag, and played neighborhood baseball. She wasn’t into Barbie and dresses but one thing she did like was caring for her 5 Cabbage Patch Kids like a mom does for her child. Then at age 12, she became a big sister, so she could play pretend with a real baby! In fact, she was like a second mother to her sister. She would babysit when her mom and step-dad worked late or went out. She then began to babysit her younger cousins and children of her mom’s friends. When Tina was 18 she began working in schools as an assistant and then as a substitute teacher, which she currently does now. Tina has worked at various schools, caring for many different children, including special education children and children with disabilities. Caring for children is something that comes naturally to her. Take away a little piece of advice from Tina Crowther: “Kids are a sponge ready to soak up all the information that comes their way; teach them, love them and care for them. They will take that with them into adulthood and will pass it along to their offspring. It doesn’t matter if you are their parent, teacher or neighbor, we all have an impact on a child’s life.” HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.
