Book Review: Awesome Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great resource to have at hand. It's quick, easy, and has great information to help overwhelmed parents. I am looking forward to putting this to use.Book Review: Best Book on Parenting I've Ever Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
"Parenting can be a long, lonely road on those days when you're quite sure that no parent has ever gone through what you're going through. 'The Pocket Parent' gives you support and humor, in kind and caring suggestions and stories, to help you find your way. It doesn't preach. Instead, it points to options we may not have tried. As the father of three young children, I knew the moment I picked it up that it would be dog-eared and highlighted in a matter of days. 'The Pocket Parent' is simply the best book on parenting that I've ever read.''Book Review: Best Toddler Resource
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best toddler discipling resource i have seen. Most of the books that offer true discipline tips and advice are for older kids, and the ones for toddlers offer ways to keep from needing to use discipline, but if you're in a situation where you need to- they are no help. As a mom of a very active 2 and a half year old boy i found it priceless! It truly is like advice from an older neighbor who has been there!!!Book Review: Doesn't really tell me anything I didn't already know
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book based on good user reviews on Amazon with hopes that it could help me understand how to better communicate with my toddler. I pretty much read it at one sitting, found it too bulky to carry around with me, as many reviewers said they did, and really didn't learn anything I didn't already know.
I guess there comes a point that you just don't need books anymore. As a first time parent, I was really hoping for more.
Book Review: EVER WISHED YOUR CHILD CAME WITH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS?
Summary: 5 Stars
I have twin 2-year-olds and a new baby. Needless to say, I find my patience, parenting skills and sanity being tested daily! Sibling rivalry (including occasional hitting and biting), anger towards the new baby, not listening, whining, separation anxiety, bad words, tantrums in public...what's a mother (or father) to do when you've simply had it? "The Pocket Parent" has become a part of the essential "stuff" that I carry around with me. Because of it's size and A-Z arrangement of topics, I can look up some ideas to try on the spot. The humor and empathy throughout the book help comfort me in the thought that I am not alone and that I am a good mother in the midst of a very important and sometimes very challenging job. I have noticed that since I have been using this book that I often try to take a few moments to think before I speak. I am proud of that, because I find my communication with my children to be more respectful as well as more effective in gaining their cooperation. "The Pocket Parent" lifts my spirits-especially on one of those days when everything that can go wrong,does. I also appreciate the fact that there are many "Daddy" anecdotes included in the book. My husband and I found it very helpful to read suggestions together, followed by discussion for a few minutes before we go to sleep when we have a specific problem. I highly recommend "The Pocket Parent" for every parent that has questions about their preschooler.
