Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Keeping Your Kids Grounded When You're Flying by the Seat of Your Pants
Timothy J. Jordan · 1999
71/100
👍 Worth It
Dr. Jordan brings real clinical pediatric experience to this guide for parents juggling too much and still wanting closeness with their kids. The fact he came back and revised it a full 25 years later says something about its staying power, even if the original text feels dated on its own.
