Summary: Excellent. Educational, Insiring, enjoyable &easy reading;
Review: As a parent to be I found the book to be easy to read, yet provide excellent information, and funny too! The case stories helped me understand the topics she was discussing, making "real life". This will be my first child, and I was quite nervous, but this easy to read book has given me Courage! I have and will recommend this to all my friends that plan to have children, or have young kids! The author put me at ease and I thank her!

Summary: Trite, ILL Advised, Simplistic, Attitudinal..Save your $$$
Review: This book is awful. Marinakis' view of things is simplistic, trite and extraordinarily condescending. I doubt she has any children of her own, because if she did clearly she would not create such useless, impractical pulp. Just another example of a ivory tower idiot dispensing advice about which she knows nothing. A lambskin on the wall qualifies her for a frame...but certainly not for her ability to assist parents with their children. It reads like everyone is stupid...poor..and without good sense. Save your money...This book should be called "My attitude will drive you nuts"..stay sane..save money...stay away!!

Summary: Wonderful Insights!
Review: This book is great! It takes common sense and turns it into basic applicable instructions on how to raise my daughter. I have been amazed at the results with my 2 year old daughter. No more terrible twos!
