Paranoid Parents Guide Book

The Paranoid Parents Guide is a book filled with practical child health and safety tips and positive parenting advice, written by parenting expert Christie Barnes. The book is now available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Borders, and bookstores nationwide and internationally. Also available in Kindle from Amazon and as an audio book from Audible.com.

Somewhere between ‘free range kids” and “perfect madness” is the need for a book that addresses how to parent with common sense in a culture of sensationalized fear and parenting paranoia. The Paranoid Parent’s Guide is Confessions of a Slacker Mom meets The Worst Case Scenario Handbook – an irreverent, yet imminently practical guide to help parents shun the alarmist parenting culture while keeping their children, sanity, and their budgets healthy.

When surveyed by the author Christie Barnes, 75% of parents said they worried about “everything” when it came to their kids. Average parents commonly wonder about and worry about things like this:

  • Is this really the right school for my children?
  • Will that splinter get infected?
  • Will my children get kidnapped playing in the front yard? Or the mall?
  • Is my fifth-grader ready for sex-ed at school?
  • Does my child need a tutor?
  • Is my child gifted?
  • How could my child forget the sight words we practiced this summer?
  • Do I really need to buy organic everything?

Based on information gathered from years of research, author Christie Barnes gives parents a much-needed reality check. The Paranoid Parents Guide opens parents’ eyes to real childhood dangers and also shows parents how they are wasting their time and energy worrying about the wrong things.

By rallying against a culture of fear with well-researched facts, the Paranoid Parents Guide will help moms and dads enjoy parenthood more, and allow their kids to develop the healthy straits of resiliency, independence, and good decision-making that are essential – yet lacking – in today’s society.

Stop worrying about a shark attack. Your child is more likely to be injured by a shopping cart than a shark bite.

Busting through parenting myths, the Paranoid Parents Guide book offers parents realistic ways to safeguard their kids without stealing their childhoods.

Barnes proves in the Paranoid Parents Guide book that it’s easier to enjoy parenthood when you are prepared – not paranoid.
