Customer Reviews

A great book!

Through a series of anecdotes about what it is like to interact with young children, WHAT OUR CHILDREN TEACH US shows us how much we have to learn from kids, especially about honesty. It left me smiling. A nice gift for young fathers (or mothers).

A FRESH LOOK AT PARENTING

I would recommend this book to any father or mother commmitted to being a fully present parent. Has the flavor of real life and the feeling of being with children during the "small" everyday moments that really count. It's also very amusing to see how the author discovers important things about himself and adults in general from his son's reactions.

I love this book!

What a wonderful little book! I love the personal stories of Ferrucci's experiences with his kids and the ideas he has about parenting with an attitude open to learning from our children. Funny, warm, and insightful.
