I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley!
Fighter Pilot Parent is a parenting book written by a military parent/representative. I was intrigued by that concept, as I feel most parenting books are written by moms. I have to admit that I don't usually get through parenting books. I'm a mom to two, and I question whether I'm doing things right, as we all do.
This book was informative, interesting, and kept my interest which says a lot based on what i said above.

This book was filled with great advice on becoming a better parent in terms of being a stronger leader. The connection between leadership skills and successful parenting is perfectly laid out in this book. It is an interesting approach to parenting.

"As a parent, have you ever been anxious about your child venturing away from the safety and security of home?" This is how the book starts, and yes, as a parent I do have this same feeling. Will I ever be able to protect my child from all the horrors in the world? Will I raise him well? Will I be able to teach him the values my parents thought me? All these are the same anxieties all parents feel. This book is giving a new perspective from a point of view of a former Navy commander. Never have I ever before read a parenting guide written by an military representative. And yes, it gives some insights, gives a new view, but unfortunately nothing groundbreaking new. This is not a bad book, let me clear that, it is a well written, understandable even for us who don't have a clue how the military works. It is just that it was not my cup of tea. However, I will recommend it for every parent to read, because in this world today, we need every guide we can get to raise children into great human beings.
