Summary: Absolutely essential
Review: What a tremendously helpful book! It's packed with tons of useful and practical tips on handling problems and conflicts that seem to pop up all too often. I was glued to the book all last week and feverishly gobbled up the information in record time. I found the sections on how to reduce whining, temper tantrums in public places, morning craziness and problems at the dinner table particularly useful. I especially liked the many dialogs Samalin includes in her book since I can relate to many of them and they are instructive. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I've already recommended it a several of my friends and coworkers. I've read and enjoyed Samalin's other books but this one is definitely my favorite.
