In this age of hyper-information, parenting is much like tap-dancing in a minefield. There was a time when parents had nothing to draw from, except for their experiences with their own parents. But today, there is information overload and conflicting advice from multiple 'experts'. How are parents to navigate this jungle of counsel and still retain their sanity? The short answer: common sense. This little book uses wit and prudence to show that parenting is not an exercise in theories but about learning on the job.

I haven't been a perfect parent. Far from it. And the offspring is not the poster boy for anything that would qualify me to write this book. To be honest, he's not the poster boy for anything except insolence, now that he's entered his teens.
