Raising a Happy Confident Successful Child: 52 Lessons to Help Parents Grow

Rating:
Summary: Fabulous! Simply a wonderful book.
Review: As a father of two and one more on the way, no one has tried out more parenting books than me. Most are either dry and technical or easy to read, but lacking in useful information. This book has it all. Its full of great stories, but is also authoritative and informative. When you're done you'll have a lifetime of experience and be ready to tackle anything your kids (or future kids) can come up with.

Summary: True lessons that provide emotional support for parents
Review: I thought about writing this book for 30 years. I wanted to avoid writing a book filled with cold facts and statistics. Instead, I hoped my book would provide emotional support for everyday parents who could connect on a very personal level. I wanted to share the successes while learning from the failures. Most of all I wanted to write a book that parents could relate to. This book is a collection of the lessons I've learned over the past thirty years.

Summary: A simple, fun way to become a great parent.
Review: This book is wonderfully accessible and fun to read. I found that even when I loaned it out to friends who aren't parents, they enjoyed it as much as I did. Trish Magee has a wonderful way of sharing readable and enlightening stories in a way that shows that she truly cares about a child's soul. What makes this book so refreshing is that it does not try to make a list of all the parenting tips available. This is more a book about how to nurture your child and make your relationship more rewarding for both the parent and the child. I can read about how to baby-proof my home elsewhere! This book is truly an invaluable resource.
