“When I’m a parent, I’ll never…” Using the responses of over 500 LDS adults, Dr. Randal Wright developed this book on how to avoid the 25 most common parenting mistakes so you can become the extraordinary parents you want to be!
Why this book appeals to me! ~ I am the mother of four children. (Enough said!) I know that I am by no means a perfect parent, nor will I ever be. I can use all the advice that I can get. I love to read the experiences and wisdom of others and incorporate ideas into my home.

On the back of the book the bullet points are:
- Being available during critical times in children's lives
- Making the home a place of fun and laughter
- Building a strong marriage and setting an example of how marriage works
- Using balanced and consistent discipline with children
