Certain to appeal to all parents -- whether they are expecting or raising their first new addition, in-the-trenches veterans or empty-nesters -- this delightful Chicken Soup book offers a collection of inspiring and entertaining stories that relate to the triumphs, tribulations, challenges and joys of raising a family. Chapters include: The Joys of Parenting; A Mother's Love; A Father's Love; Special Connections; Special Moments; Insights and Lessons; Overcoming Obstacles; Surviving Loss; Across the Generations; and Letting Go.With contributions from celebrity and "ordinary" parents alike, each story speaks to the range of emotions and experiences of all types of parents -- single parents, foster parents, parents of adopted children, or part of a two-parent family with biological children.
By sharing the personal experiences of others, this book will offer inspiration and advice to parents going through a difficult time; provide reassurance to those who worry that they're not living up to the Supermom or Superdad ideal; and share a wealth of experiences that show why being a parent is such a worthwhile and rewarding vocation.
