Prescriptions for Parenting

Rating:
Summary: Meeks offers real solutions to everyday parenting challenges
Review: Compared to the multitude of parenting books available, I found "Prescriptions for Parenting," by Carol Ann Meeks, to be an incisive, practical guide for successfully handling common parenting challenges. Each chapter addresses specific behaviors (both the child and parent's) and offers solutions for the desired outcome. The concise format is a boon to busy parents because it is quick to read and portable! The author provides crib notes, ideal for copying, to remind the reader of the actions suggested in the book. This book is suitable for parents who have children of any age, as Meeks addresses problems from toddlers to adolescents. It is a gem

Summary: Excellent for educating parent on the how to discipline!
Review: I ran upon this book at a local physicians office and absolutely fell in love with it. I told my daughter's physician that I had to have it so I wrote down the name and author and I am currently trying to order a copy and actually got lucky, it is on it's way. I would recommend this book to every parent.

Summary: I have read many parenting books, and this is the best !
Review: The author is highly qualified to give parenting advice, not only as a pediatrician, a specialist in behavioral pediatrics, family therapy, and crisis intervention, but as a PARENT. I bought this book (and every other book on child care, literally) while pregnant with my first daughter. After two more children (and several more books), I feel that this is the most practical, readable, and usable parenting book there is. I gave several copies to friends and am now trying to secure more copies for gifts. The advice in this book is gold - reasonable, simple, easy, and definitely field-tested. REALLY, buy it.
