My goal as a parent has always been to raise children who become responsible， mature adults， so the words "resourceful， self-sufficient kids" made this book very appealing！ I was also drawn in by Hillsberg's application of her professional CIA career to parenting--mindfulness should be part of any parenting game。 I was impressed by the organization of her thoughts and experience throughout the book， and grabbed some takeaways that will stick with me as we enter the teen years。 Definitely a helpf My goal as a parent has always been to raise children who become responsible， mature adults， so the words "resourceful， self-sufficient kids" made this book very appealing！ I was also drawn in by Hillsberg's application of her professional CIA career to parenting--mindfulness should be part of any parenting game。 I was impressed by the organization of her thoughts and experience throughout the book， and grabbed some takeaways that will stick with me as we enter the teen years。 Definitely a helpful read for anyone looking to raise independent children！ Thanks for sending an ARC my way， Penguin！ 。。。more

Thank you to the publisher and author for providing me a finished copy of License to Parent。I have been a parent for almost 8 years now， and yet I rarely read parenting books！ However， when the tag line begins “How My Career as a Spy。。。”， I’m MORE than just a little intrigued。The chapters in this book cover everything from keeping kids safe to helping them form lasting relationships with others and how to keep a strong moral code！ （And I have to say that I was impressed with the variety of subje Thank you to the publisher and author for providing me a finished copy of License to Parent。I have been a parent for almost 8 years now， and yet I rarely read parenting books！ However， when the tag line begins “How My Career as a Spy。。。”， I’m MORE than just a little intrigued。The chapters in this book cover everything from keeping kids safe to helping them form lasting relationships with others and how to keep a strong moral code！ （And I have to say that I was impressed with the variety of subjects explored。）I also really enjoyed how the book is divided， how each topic is broken apart and studied。 The authors chose to write each chapter in repeating sections。 The first describes how a topic is taught and used in the CIA。 Then， anecdotes are provided for how the AUTHORS used said training in the raising of their children。 Last， practical applications are given for how the READER could take these ideas and bring them into his/her own parenting life。 I had a lot of fun while reading， learned so much about what the CIA can do， took away a few ideas that I’ve started to implement in my own home （Safety Go Bag ✔️ Car identification ✔️ ）， and I look forward to using even more as my children grow。 。。。more
