Summary: this book was my support system
Review: I had found this book to be one of the best, simplest and most supportive parenting books around. at the time my son was 7 -12 months, I was pretty much without a support system, and this book was my lifeline and my bible to parenting. It's wonderful.

Summary: Best book on parenting I have ever read.
Review: I read the book and wished it had been written years ago when my children were young. I gave it to my daughter when her baby was born. She says it is wonderful and has helped her tremendoously, especially since he (baby) is about to enter the "terrible two's". R. Franks

Summary: Much better books out there
Review: This is a great resource book. My husband and I were about to have our first child and were nervous about what to do with him. This book answered a lot of our questions and helped us to remember to have a sense of humor about the whole child-rearing process. I love the flow chart on what to do when the baby is crying. This is a definately better book than those "What to expect..." books!

Review: We've bought other ...for dummies books before and have been quite happy. But this book was a huge disappointment. Maybe because the topic isn't easily handled in the typical ...for dummies format. Also, the author you can tell is used to writing computer manuals. The book is often preachy and rarely helpful. I definitely wouldn't recommend it.
