Customer Reviews

Perfect for the Busy Mother (or Father)
This book is great. As an active and involved father, I am eager to do what is best for my baby but since this is my first child, I don't really know what I am doing half the time (and I question that what I am doing the other half is actually going to make my son better-off in any way). By default, I end up trying to replicate how my and my wife's parents raised us and piece it together with the knowledge I have gleaned over the years by watching others. That has not been enough.

Recently I went out and bought a bunch of parenting books to help fill in the gaps. The general books seemed to be written for mothers and I found them to be largely unhelpful. The books written for dads dealt a little too much with how I felt, instead of how to help my child.

This book is written in short chapters that deal with specific and relevant issues in practical, easy to understand ways. It poses important questions and then actually answers them with helpful tips that I found to be very easy to apply to my child-rearing techniques.

must-have resource for all parents
What I love about this book is that the author is not just an expert but also a parent - so she writes with authority, but also with heart. Touching on everything from your child's self-esteem to important research about kids and TV, Berman is not just spouting opinions - she grounds everything in solid research, so you can really trust this information. The short chapters are pefect for busy parents and also packed with great info.

Wow! Great!! A must have for all parents.
This book is so helpful that every parent should have one. I will give to all of my friends. A wonderful and insightful guide to being parents.
