Summary: I keep this on our kitchen counter
Review: 100 million copies of this book should be airdropped across the USA...in fact, it should blanket the globe. It is the most concise collection of parenting wisdom available anywhere. Ruthann Saphier is clearly a woman of deep experience, commitment and compassion. We can only hope she will add to this gem, which is designed for parents on the go, another volume with more detail for those of us who are still determined to make time to read fuller expositions. Bravo. American parents have no excuse now!

Summary: Super book for "too-busy-to-read" parents.
Review: As a divorce mediator and family counselor, I keep copies of this book in my office and urge parents to read, then re-read many times. It is great for the one-home, or 2-home parenting situation. Both parents can be on the same page, using the same parenting language and doing a more consistent job with co-parenting. Plus, keeping the pages up on the refrigerator in both homes is a great message to the kids. Give this book as a gift to all parents!

Summary: Thank you Ms. Saphier!
Review: I am SO appreciative of this artful, whimsical and extremely useful little book. My own children are grown--and I wish it had existed for them!-- but as a grandmother, I am thrilled to have clear, concise guidelines and suggestions as I participate with one more generation.

Summary: I keep this on our kitchen counter
Review: I LOVE this little book. It was recommended by the director of our Early Childhood Education program, and I've had it for about 4 years. It sits on our kitchen counter, and I pick it up often to re-read a tip or give me a little boost of patience and clarity.We have several good parenting books, but this is the one I keep at hand and have used over and over. It's one tool kit that every parent needs!

Summary: A must-have for all parents!
Review: This book is an excellent no-nonsense parenting guide for all moms and dads. The parenting tips are short and to the point and are wonderful daily reminders. I read it and re-read it daily to help me do the best job I can as a parent! It also makes a fantastic gift. Buy it today!

Summary: GOOD INFORMATION, QUICKLY AND EASILY
Review: This book is excellent. It provides important thoughts to remember on a daily basis. The format is fun, and information can be found quickly and easily, which is what busy parents need. Many of these ideas are things we already know we should do and want to do--but forget during stressful times. A quick reminder gets us back on track. Yet, if we have a real problem area where we need more help, references are given for additional information on each topic. Many of these ideas are things I wish I had had the presence of mind to think of on my own, but didn't have the time or energy to focus on them. Thanks to Ruthann for putting so much good solid wisdom in such a small easy to read book!

Summary: Practical, useful suggestions for life's most important job!
Review: This little book suggests positive, practical tools for parenting. I especially like the notebook format with its fridge notes that can be easily used as encouraging reminders for changes that benefit parent and child. An excellent source for families with children of any age.
