After repeated requests from friends to share their parenting secrets, George Mekhail began to take notes on the strategies he and his wife Danielle developed during their first 16 years of raising children. His back-to-basics, ‘Sound Parenting’ approach evolved into the 21 keys you’ll find in this remarkably accessible book. Each key includes simple steps for overcoming the challenges of our fast-paced, distraction-filled world, helping parents reclaim their central role as ‘mom’ or ‘dad’ instead of outsourcing to an i Pad or Tik Tok feed. If you’re a parent confronted with these realities, looking to cut through the noise and willing to do the work, you’ll find a voice of reason in George and his easy-to-implement strategies in I Am Not Your Bruh.
