This is Not a Parenting Book
This is Not a Parenting Book by Amy Huntsman offers a refreshing and inclusive perspective on child-rearing, blending established educational philosophies with contemporary research. The book’s structure, dividing key concepts alphabetically from ‘A to Z,’ makes it an accessible and practical guide.
Huntsman’s writing style is engaging and insightful, striking a fine balance between professional advice and empathetic understanding. The book stands out for its emphasis on the Respectful Care® approach, which highlights the importance of nonjudgmental and inclusive practices in parenting and child care. Her use of real-world examples makes complex theories relatable, and the reflection exercises included with each concept encourage active engagement from the reader.
The alphabetical arrangement of topics from ‘Acknowledgment’ to ‘Zone of Proximal Development’ serves as an educational tool and handy reference for parents and caregivers. This structure, along with the appendix’s inclusion of helpful scripts and catchphrases, ensures that the book is a practical resource for day-to-day parenting challenges.
While the book covers a broad range of topics, some readers might seek a deeper exploration of certain complex issues. However, its breadth makes it a valuable starting point for anyone involved in child care.
Amy Huntsman’s book is like a treasure chest of ideas for anyone involved in raising kids. It touches on a whole bunch of topics, which means it doesn’t always dive super deep into every single issue. But I feel that’s actually part of its charm. It’s kind of like having a friendly, knowledgeable guide that gives you a great overview and starting points, making it perfect for anyone stepping into the world of child care. I found the book to be very helpful and packed with insights and practical tips.

Ensure Educational Success
Dr. Samuel D. Nix II is an incredible author who profoundly recognizes the education system and how crucial it is for teachers and administrators to use sophisticated techniques to run schools. Ensure Educational Success covers multiple topics that are helpful to teachers and leaders. The author extensively writes about educational success, how to run schools, improve schooling systems, and handle learners. I love that the author starts every chapter with a quote from historical icons. The quotes add an aesthetic value to the text and give readers a hint about what will be covered in the coming chapter.
In this eye-opening book, the reader is exposed to researched-based content that is illuminating to teachers, leaders, educators, learners, and the shareholders in the education system. Every discussion is based on accuracy and backed with facts and statistics. In addition, he is also strategic and in tune with the realities in learning institutions.
The author is an experienced education consultant and is knowledgeable in matters of education success, and is solution-oriented. His impartiality when discussing the challenges both learners and administrators face is venerable. Dr. Samuel D. Nix II does not take sides between educators or adminstrators, even when critical of certain concepts applied in the education systems.
The writing style in this revealing book is free-flowing and does not feel technical. One technique the author uses to explain his point of view is using questions and real-life examples when he expounds on a topic.
One of my favorite chapters was on empowering learners. Among the many topics, the author discussed leading the learners. To help the reader understand his discussions best, the author asks questions like; How do you know if students are learning? When they are not, what do you do about it? And goes ahead to explain in detail what should be done.
Ensure Educational Success is a thought-provoking book shedding light on the education system from all angles. The goal is to enact change in our education system and allow both teachers and learners to have the best possible experience in the education process.
