Previously published as Behind the Brussels Sprouts: A Light-Hearted "What If" Parenting Guide by Lynn Sanchez.

Being a parent today can feel like a story of survival. Between a global pandemic that changed the way we live, the rise of children’s mental health issues, and the often oppressive presence of technology, it’s no wonder many parents feel like they are barely keeping it all together.

Mother of three, author, and former assistant professor of Early Childhood, Lynn Sanchez, M.Ed., is helping parents and caregivers across the region shift their mindset to understand that they already have what it takes to guide their children to a place of joy and resilience. In Behind the Brussels Sprouts, Sanchez guides us through a conversation, using her own, often comical, parenting stories, and her decades of experience to help parents relax, build their self-awareness and confidence, and most importantly to enjoy this amazing journey. Sanchez offers a refreshing perspective that includes tips on understanding your personal parenting style, leaning into your strengths as a parent, and gaining new tools and strategies to lighten the heavy load of parenting.
