The Parenting Survival Kit: How to Make It Through the Parenting Years With Your Family, Sanity, and Wallet Intact

Rating:
Summary: A good general guide
Review: I appreciate the perspectives that the autor shares about aspects of parenting I may not have considered, particularly in the beginning when addressing several guidelines to keep in mind about all parenting challenges. If you're looking for a comprehensive guide to some particular problem, such as discipline, this probably isn't the book you want. However, if it's sitting on your bookshelf and you're in the middle of dealing with some issue, you can look to it as a resource that will point you in a good direction and to help you learn more.

Summary: The Parenting Survival Kit : How to Make It Through the Pare
Review: I saw this author on Oprah and thought she had some good ideas, so I rushed out to get her book. But the book was just a basic guide with not anything that you probably haven't tried before with your kids. What I did find useful was in the back of the book she has a resource guide dealing with specific items in the book that you may want to get further information about. Examples include: about four pages of webpage addresses for parenting issues as well as her recommended books, broken down by specific parenting issue.
