Summary: Me, Myself and I
Review: Dr. Pruetts book is loaded with great advice and research that I use to help me with my two year old. He offers good common sense perspectives that are very applicable in day to day child raising. I would recommend this book for all concerned parents as they raise happy , healthy kids.

Summary: OK, but much better books out there
Review: Maybe I expect too much out of a book, but in order to get 5 stars out of me a book has to be an exhaustive review of the topic, enlightening or at least entertaining. This book was none of these. It skims the many facets of raising a toddler, based on all the "current research", but doesn't go further than that. For example, my daughter has recently acquired a fear of the dark. They tell me this is normal. Gee thanks. No review of common fears, no clever ways to handle it, nothing. It was like getting advice from a pediatrician who didn't go home and parent. Save your money.

Summary: A Bible For Understanding Child Development
Review: Me, Myself and I should be required reading for all parents of children ages 18 to 36 months. Dr. Pruett has done an enormous service -- providing insights into temperament, style, communication, playing, and more. Parents shouldn't think twice about getting this book. They and their children will be happier, healthier, and better adjusted than those that decide to take a pass. Dr. Pruett shows parents how parenting can be made a little easier. Bravo to the author!
