No Regrets Parenting focuses on the simple truth that the long days of busy parenting race quickly by and, looking back someday, the years with kids will feel far too short. Dr. Rotbart teaches parents how to experience the joy and depth of the parenting experience amidst the chaos and choreography of daily routines. Carpool, bedtime, bath time, soccer practice, homework, dinner hour, and sleepovers all become opportunities for intimate and meaningful time with kids. This updated and expanded edition includes new sections: 'Parenting Young Adult Children' (because parenting doesn't end with high school graduation) and 'No Regrets Grandparenting' for those magical years when your children become parents! ### Get Your Copy [Buy on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/Regrets-Parenting-Updated-Expanded-Cherished/dp/1524870579) [Barnes & Noble](https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/no-regrets-parenting-updated-and-expanded-edition-harley-a-rotbart/1139437146?ean=9781524870577) ## Reviews and Praise > "Dr. Rotbart's No Regrets Parenting is something special.
