Rating: Summary: Practical and inspiring advice for mothers Review: After seeing the author on "Your World with Neil Caputo" on Fox News, I read her book, ROCKET MOM! I would highly recommend it to any parent, but especially to mothers. Not only will you learn very practical ideas for raising great kids, you will also be inspired to become a better parent. Carolina's strategies are all designed to bring excellence into the parenting equation. The author does something that few other parenting experts do: she lays out the research and then spins it through the filter as only a mom with four kids and nearly twenty years of "in the trenches" parenting can do. Exquisitely written, it's a must-read for parents of all ages. Do yourself a favor and buy this book.
Rating: Summary: Rocket Mom Review: Carolina Fernandez has a passion - to get you jump-started as a Rocket Mom. "Rocket Mom" is filled with creative ideas for raising well-rounded children and organizing your life from A to Z. Carolina tells you how her seven strategies have worked in her family life. She shares her passion with you and shows you how to use them in your family so you can 'blast off.' A fun and informative read. A good one to pick up while waiting in carpool lines, or one that can be thoroughly enjoyed in a two hour block of time. Highly recommended!!

Rating: Summary: ROCKET MOM REVIEW Review: IT WAS SO GOOD THE READ SUCH POSITIVE, WHOLESOME FEEDBACK FROM A MOM WHO HAS SUCCEEDED AT RAISING WONDERFUL, WELL ADJUSTED CHILDREN. I WISH THERE WAS SOMETHING LIKE THIS 30 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS RAISING MY CHILDREN. NOW, I PLAN TO SHARE THIS BOOK WITH MY DAUGTHER AS A REFERENCE IN RAISING HER TWO YOUNG SONS. CAROLINA'S POINT ABOUT INTRODUCING CHILDREN TO MUSIC IS TRUE AND SO IMPORTANT! NOT EVERYONE CAN BE THE QUARTERBACK FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM AND MUSIC IS SUCH A CREATIVE OUTLET THAT CAN BE UTILIZED FOR LIFE! THIS IS A "MUST READ" FOR MOMS (AND MAYBE SINGLE DADS) WHO WANT TO RAISE "NICE KIDS" WHO ARE ABLE TO TALK WITH ADULTS, BE GOOD STUDENTS, AND NICE TO BE AROUND! THIS IS A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR YOUNG FAMILIES AND/OR MOM'S TO BE! RAISING CHILDREN CAN BE FUN! (AND IS!) I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS AS MUCH AS I DID. I WILL EVEN USE SOME OF THESE IDEAS WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN.

Rating: Summary: Another Self Help that Fails Review: My wife got this as a present and read it, didn;t think mush but I read it about midway to the end , very quickly, and thought "and so." This is not even a good primer or 101 on the topic. If you don't have these "skills" down before leaving high school, even public high school - you are in deep trouble.
Rating: Summary: A Great Book Review: Rocket Mom is packed with amazing wisdom so simply written that it is like sitting down chatting with your best friend. Carolina Fernandez has done a terrific job combining practical strategies, solid scientific reserach, and inspiring stories from her own life. I especially enjoyed the chapter on Building Character in Children. As the founder of the Nonprofit Organization The Creating Peace Project, www.creatingpeaceproject.org, nothing is more important than raising the next generation to become all they are meant to be. This book will inspire you as a parent to do just that, help your children become all they are meant to be.
