Rating: Summary: Dr. Karp is a Genius! Review: Dr. Karp has written a wonderful book that is a lifesaver for both experienced and new parents. He gives the reader a practical guide to dealing with the most important issues of parenting. People always say that it would be great if babies came with an Operations Manual. Now, they can. Just give Dr. Karp's book as a baby shower gift. It will be the best gift Mom and Dad receive.
Rating: Summary: Great Review: This is a wonderful book for the parents of any newborn. Dr. Karp provides practical, easy-to-use advice to help new parents finally get a good night's sleep. Some of the tips in this book are even more effective than the "finger-of-brandy-in-the-baby-bottle" approach Amy and I were using before we read this.
Rating: Summary: For Parents Opposed to Harshness Review: Dr. Karp is part of a new movement of parents who prefer gentle approaches to raising children, and the data is on his side. Not only do his techniques work, but everything we know about children tells us that straying from these sorts of gentle approaches causes psychological damage. Karp is buiding on the work of Dr. Lawrence Kelemen (To Kindle a Soul: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Parents and Teachers), and he does a good job. Kelemen's book (To Kindle a Soul) is still the classic guide to getting great kids using gentle techniques. I strongly recommend Karp's book for those interested in putting their children to sleep, and I strongly recommend Kelemen's book for gentle and incredibly effective techniques to handle misbehavior, discipline and punishment problems. Kelemen's book also has a lot of information about gently handling ADD and ADHD kids without medication.
Rating: Summary: Hooray for Harvey Karp! Review: Being new parents was a daunting experience, but with Harvey Karp's amazing philosophy and practical advice, we were able to calm our son down within minutes. I think a better title for the book might be "The Happiest PARENTS on the Block!"
Rating: Summary: The Happiest Mom On The Block Review: For so many new parents the joys of motherhood can be overshadowed by two very important human needs. Sleep and sex are vitally important but when you have a newborn that just can't turn off the "switch" to stop crying, you get parents that can't find the "switch" to turn on to the joys of just being intimate together. Dr. Karp's brilliant new solutions in this book really works. The five "S's" are amazing...
Rating: Summary: DRKARP SAVED US Review: Until we used these methods our daughter would cry for hours and we would pass her back and forth. Dr Karp saved us and our daughter miserable hours of crying at night and let us all get some sleep. I want everyone to know that when it is hard to know what to believe with all the different methods and books, this is the winner and it really works. I have been telling everyone I know with a baby to get this book.
Rating: Summary: A book you must own. Review: All I can say is this book works! Thank you Doctor Karp!
Rating: Summary: The Happiest Parents on that same Block Review: For a very long time there has been a need for a book like this. It is not the "Ferber method" of doing things, that leave mothers with a churning gut and a heavy heart but a vey intrinsic way of connecting with and "wombing" your baby. It speaks on levels throughout the ages of women who did things that came natural to their indigenous roots. Dr. Karp very naturally brought this all together in a well written and lovely book. It is witty, clever, and so easy to read. Any frustrated parent who can't get their baby soothed will know the tools of satisfaction after reading this book. Every now and then we do need a recipe and you will find it here. A wonderful group of priceless information that will comfort your baby and get them to sleep. You can't help but be the happiest parents after all.
