Book Review: A must-have guide to evolve the best in your children
Summary: 5 Stars
Would you like your child(ren) to grow up to be empathetic to the feelings of others, well-behaved, and able to develop and enjoy their best given talents?
Of course! We all want to be proud of our children.
This unique, sensitive and humorous roadmap to our desire as parents to feel that we have done right for our children, is indispensable to that end.
We are the product of our beliefs.
Those beliefs are laid down in the very early years of our being. Between the age of 0 to 9 we parents are entrusted to construct the foundation upon which our children believe in themselves and learn to perceive the environment around them.
The authors, Gail and Caroline, have provided us with valuable tools parents can use to help a child develop the richest of their potentials, in an environment of support, confidence and trust. Their compassion and love for wanting to evolve beautiful and caring humans, and thus a better world for all of us, is remarkably expressed in "The Pocket Parent".
As a health professional, I truly believe in this book. As a new grandparent, I feel so scrumptiously lucky to have this available to me and my family. My young granddaughter's experiences will be filled with more joy, wonder and fulfillment, as she grows up rich in solid values and healthy, mindful beliefs.
May this labor of loving understanding of the authors also contribute to your children's destiny to their better, more successful, healthier and more confident world.
Book Review: A quick resource for the glove compartment
Summary: 4 Stars
I've sent a copy of this book as gifts to several first time moms with toddlers because it's such a quicky, handy resource when you're on the go, which seems to be the whole point. As the mother of 3 kids, the oldest being almost 10, I've seen what's out there, but I haven't come across anything that encompasses the "headlines" about parenting in a nutshell. The book is upbeat with a warm tone and offers invaluable tips for most stuations that 2-5 year old's get into. Is it the last word on raising toddlers? If it were, it would be the size of Webster's Dictionary, but as a handy little guru-in-the-pocket I do find myself confirming many of the decisions I make when it comes to dealing with my willful 2-year old.Book Review: A-Z Sanity Exclusively for Parents of 2- to 5-year-olds
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book that has really helped me get more cooperation from my 4-year-old...the FIRST time I ask. I totally appreciated the author's humor! I love the size of the book and quick read format ...perfect to take with, always ready to give me a tip to try and at the same time a reassuring 'verbal hug' that no parent or child is perfect. Great gift for any mother or father of a 2- to 5-year-old that can use some sanity!! Just look it up...ANGER, BEDTIME, BITING, BAD WORDS, GIMMES, I HATE YOU'S, INTERRUPTING, LYING, MORNING CRAZIES, SIBLING RIVALRY, TANTRUMS, AND MUCH MORE!Book Review: All the parenting info you need
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book so much, I got rid of most of my other parenting books and just use this one. The cool thing about it is it's indexed so that the main things you need to get advice on are easy to find as problems/challenges happen. Potty training? Flip through the book and find the header and there you are. Hitting. Sleep. Easy and fast.Book Review: An A-Z Guide For Parents of 2-5 year olds
Summary: 5 Stars
I have finally found the book I have been looking for! It is perfectly sized to consult at a moment's notice; all you have to do is look it up...40 worrisome issues are addressed such as ANGER, BEDTIME, BAD WORDS, CHORES, DEATH, FEARS AT NIGHT, THE "GIMMES", LYING, MEALTIME, MORNING "CRAZIES", POTTY TRAINING, SEPARATION ANXIETY, TANTRUMS, WHINING, and more. It is written the way friends talk to each other...with compassion, humor and excellent practical advice. The format is geared to busy parents-- hundreds of quick bits of wit and wisdom to help a parent restore his or her sanity! The authors call the bullets of tips..."Sanity Savers". I love the short anecdotes that illustrate the skills, often demonstrating the exact words to try in order to communicate more effectively with a preschooler. I found myself laughing out loud as I recognized myself and my children in the many examples of daily battles. I love the "Take heart" section in each chapter that reassures parents that they are not the only ones who sometimes regret what they have said or done. We all need to hear that sort of thing over and over again. Many of the sensible suggestions have been working for us. I highly recommend this book; it is the only quick-read A-Z book for parents of pre-schoolers that I have found on the market.
