Summary: Radio personality, Jonne Santoli praises Parenting Power
Review: I have been a parent for 10 years to three wonderful boys. There have been times that I wish I could have had more information about raising children when they were younger. "Parenting Power The Early Years"helps with these crucial ages. The best advice I could give parents is to have more trust in themselves. You get so much advice as a first time parent it makes you question yourself. I know I did, but then by child 3 I said "OK, I understand what you are saying" but then I said to myself,"The kids are fine I am the parent so leave me alone!" Brenda Nixon's book wants parents to believe in themselves! Face it, being a parent is never easy, but this book is a resource that will help give you information maybe you didn't know about. I also like the book because I am a mom,and on the radio, and I do not have alot of extra time to read complicated textbook type writing. This is an easy read that is meant to simplify parenting not make it more complex. And believe me with 3 boys, I do not need more complexity in life!!

Summary: A GREAT BOOK FOR PARENTS & GRANDPARENTS
Review: I really enjoyed looking at this book. I had six kids of my own and although they are grown now, I could remember so many of the things that this book talked about. Her advice would have helped me many times I am certain. My now grown five tell their own offspring that "Grandma always locked us outside with peanut butter and jelly when we were bad!" I must have done something right as they are all five beautiful caring adults today. I will get a copy of this book for them to use in raising my now 16 grandchildren . . .with inflation the book is much more reasonably priced than peanut butter, and much more interesting to digest.All kidding aside this is a wonderful book. It would make a wonderful gift for a new parent, grandparent, or even child care centers. Brenda writes from experience and that is the best kind of writing. Be sure to read it!

Summary: Common Sense Advice
Review: It's refreshing to read a parenting book written by someone who uses common sense and good values to raise children. This book is especially helpful for first time parents who don't quite know what to expect. Ms. Nixon answers many common questions and provides encouragement, motivation and sound advice to help any parent through those first few years of raising a child. I can't recommend this book highly enough!

Summary: A "Must Read" for Any Parent of Young Children
Review: Now here's a parent-friendly "must read!" Brenda Nixon's PARENTING POWER IN THE EARLY YEARS is full of motivating ideas and solutions presented in a confident and buoyant way. No heavy textbook stuff in this book! Easy to read. It's perfect for a dad who wants to quickly dip into a section during a TV commercial. Then he might just feel more equipped the next time his kid trys a tantrum. I especially liked the "Ready for Kindergarten?" section and the creative ideas for "Relief from Cabin Fever." Now I have a good book to give any new mom or dad.

Summary: Great Parenting Advice!
Review: Parenting advice comes from many different angles--grandparents, friends, references, and tricks of the trade that have been passed down from generation to generation. There is no right or wrong, but there is a cadre of information that works. That's what Brenda Nixon has collected for you. Including thoughts from well-known philosophers and modern researchers, you can read the best advice. Moreover, it comes to you in a friendly, understanding manner with a great sense of humor. As a professor of early childhood education, speaker, and author, I highly recommend this easy-to-read, enjoyable guide to healthy and happy children. Don't miss it.

Summary: From the publisher
Review: Parenting Power gives solid answers to age-old parenting questions. In a user-friendly format, Brenda gives practical childcare tips for parents on the go. One reader just told us: "I'm amazed at how much the author packed into less than 100 pages!! And good style -- sympathetic yet informative & with humility, for all mothers feel their lack."
