About “My Parent Plan”:
“Implementing a family plan is a very interesting premise, and Beth’s book provides a very excellent way to do it.” Guy Kawasaki, author of Enchantment and former chief evangelist of Apple.
“My Parent Plan has impeccable advice on every page. It covers topics from communication, date night, finances, and health to the art of delegation and managing the rocky waters of the teenage world. A must read for any mom who wants to organize her family’s world!” Kimberley Clayton Blaine, author, spokesperson, social media personality and executive producer of www.TheGoToMom.TV
As parents, it’s a daunting task to effectively coordinate your family’s daily schedule between work, home, school, childcare, sports, hobbies, community projects, friends, family and everything else in your busy lives. Blecherman offers a step-by-step guide to organize your family’s schedule, taking a practical approach to coordinate priorities and activities inside and outside your home. With a “Parent Plan,” you’ll no longer say to yourself, “I could have done THAT… if I had just been more prepared.” My Parent Plan will give you confidence to respond in a way that’s best for you and your family, resulting in happier parents, happier children and a calmer household!

Online Resources: In my book, I explained that because of how fast technology changes – creating an online resource page will allow me to try to keep as up to date as possible with the online resources available to parents related to creating their plan. Here is a link to the different chapters that will have their own set of resources. Please read the book to understand the overall planning process and use the online resources as background or information for creating your own parent plan.
Starting on JUNE 15 2013, I will have posts with online resources to match the following concepts from the book:
- Family Assessment
- Family Requirements
- Develop a Parent Plan
- Implement Your Parent Plan (technology and tools)
