And Then I Had Kids: Encouragement for Mothers of Young Children

Rating:
Summary: You are not alone!
Review: I definitely recommend this book! It is very encouraging. Susan strikes a good balance - she is real about the struggles and frustrations but she also presents encouragement through perspective, God's nature and perspective, and practical ideas. You feel like there is someone who knows exactly what you're going through as you read the book.

Summary: Perfect gift for moms!
Review: I highly recommend this book to all my friends and have given it as a special "mommy" present. It is so easy to think you are alone in the highs and lows of mommyhood. This book didn't make me feel like a failure as a parent, like so many other parenting books do. Two thumbs up!

Summary: And Then I Had Kids
Review: I really enjoyed this book. This book offers (as the title indicates) "encouragement for Mothers of Young Children" from a Christian perspective. She has five (5!) children, so in my books she has credibility as far as parenting goes. She covers many aspects of parenting small children from self-image, discipline, the atmosphere in the home to setting priorities. Her advice was so helpful to me as I raised my girls and will be a great blessing to anyone who reads it.
I just finished reading her new book "And Then I Had Teenagers". I highly recommend them!

Summary: Terrific!!! A must have for mothers with young children!
Review: Whether you're a stay at home mom or a mom who works outside the home, you will see yourself in this book. Right away in chapter two I practically said out loud "Hey, that's _me_ she's writing about!" Then Susan offers practical advice, encouragement, and best of all -- empathy! This book would make a great gift for someone who has kids ages 7 and under! Susan is also sensitive and doesn't make any judgments about moms who choose to stay home and moms who choose to have a career while their kids are little. How refreshing!!
