Worry fuels so much of today's achievement culture, and Base Camp Parenting offers a true antidote. I met Susan while researching Never Enough, when she and Chris were crafting this thoughtful guide to easing the worry behind a scarcity mindset. If you loved Susan's puppy-dog greeting, you'll find that same warmth and practical wisdom throughout. Their simple strategies calm the home and strengthen your sense of mattering-and your kids'. Everyone worries, and everyone can benefit from this wonderful book.
