I didn't read this book recently, but I often think about it when I'm talking to other parents. Mr. Rogers offers a lot of solid and practical advice for raising kids, but what made this book so memorable to me was the tone of compassion and the specific way he'd break complex issues down into manageable ones.

I don't often reread books, but I'm definitely going to read this one again in a couple years. ( )

Mister Rogers uses his knowledge of child development to discuss many different aspects of parenting, including discussing important and difficult issues with children and the importance of play. ( )
