The Cranky Mom Fix by Becky Kopitzke

If we're honest with ourselves, almost every mom knows she can go from being kind to cranky in no time flat. When we're tired, busy, anxious, preoccupied--okay, so anytime, really--we tend to default to snapping and barking at the people we love best. But life doesn't have to be this way.

Through coaching other moms who share a desire to be a kinder, gentler parent, Becky Kopitzke has learned the keys to taming the "momster" in all of us. And in this grace-filled book, she will help you

- assess the triggers that spark your angry responses
- understand your children better so you can minimize frustrations
- learn gentle, effective responses to trying situations
- and much more

Consider The Cranky Mom Fix your personal battle plan to focus on who you are and how to wield God's wisdom and strength in your family. With an extensive resource section of practical activities, tips, and self-assessment tools, this book will help you reclaim true peace for your soul and your home.

My Thoughts:
I am always looking for ways to grow as a parent and a Christian. This book really caught my eye, because lately, I have felt like just the everyday stresses of life, compounded by a bit of a curve ball that hit last year has definitely turned me into a bit more of a "cranky" mom. 
I found this devotional to be just what a needed, offering some great advice and taking me through God's Word. Boy, Becky sure hit the nail on the head! She wrote about so many things I struggle with. She gave some really great pointers and Scripture on how to act, react, and become the Mom God wants us to be. 
I am still working through the individual questions and study at the end of the chapters. I did a quick read through and am going back to really do a deeper study with all the verses included. 
I feel like this would be a wonderful asset to many mom's out there. It would make a great personal or group study. 
I know I myself have been convicted while reading through this book, but I have also been encouraged that I can tame the "momster" inside and become grace filled and a kinder, gentler parent when I put these principles into practice. 
I would definitely recommend this book!
