Lucille Williams has done it again. Her transparency and wit in her book “The Impossible Kid” keeps the reader turning the pages. This book is filled with good advice on parenting and filled with many hilarious experiences that should be labeled “do not try this at home!” There were times while reading, that I was literally LOL. Her daughter Monica’s comments and reflections at the end of each chapter are the icing on the cake, making this book truly unique. We realize that this author really does know how to parent “an impossible kid” for it is easy to fall in love with the adult Monica who is now experiencing her own strong willed child. Lucille shows how to create a bond and level of trust between parent and child that cannot be easily broken. It is a book not only for parents who feel they have an “impossible kid,” but for all those parenting children with many different personalities and needs. It is also a great encouragement to all moms who feel inept and continually failing. The author shows how authoritative parenting with a “do as I say and do it right now” attitude will usually not work with a strong willed child and most importantly, she shows what DOES work. I enjoyed reading this book and recommend it to any parent.
