Calm in the Chaos: Real-Life Parenting Workbook

Parenting is busy. Your home can still feel calm.

Between practices, school, work and the daily grind, it's easy to get lost in the moment and forget what you're really building in your kids. Calm in the Chaos is a real-life workbook written by Kristen DeRenzy, a full-time working mom of three girls (ages 5, 9 and 14), with the exact words and simple tools she uses every day.

What's inside:

• 12 chapters on staying calm, repairing after hard moments, bedtime, sibling bickering, the kid who keeps asking, big feelings, the quiet child, "that's not fair," honesty, and responsibility
• Real stories from a real, busy house, the messy parts included
• "What to say" scripts for the hardest moments
• Reflection questions and a weekly action in every chapter
• A before-and-after self-check
• Bonus printables: a "What to say when..." cheat sheet, calm-down reset list, child profile pages, privileges by age chart, regroup talk card, connection tracker, conversation starters by age, and a 10-minute connection menu
