Title: Great advice at your fingertips
Review: I originally borrowed this book from the library. I babysit my grandchildren (3 & 10 mos) and I know some things have changed over the years and I am always open to new suggestions and tips. THIS BOOK IS LOADED WITH INFO. I think it is so good that I ordered one for new parents in the family. I figure this way they can get answers without having to always consult us well meaning but BOSSY grandmas(LOL).The tips are not from the so-called experts that have never had children. The advice and tips are from real parents and grandparents and are what really worked with real babies and children. Each chapter has a theme it addresses such as emergencies, potty training, teething, behavior, bedtime..etc.. For a veteran parent there are all the tried and true tips but also some new ideas. This book is great.

Title: A treasure trove of practical advice on child-rearing.
Review: One of my favorite parts of Parents magazine is the "It Worked For Me" section. Think of this book as a 468 page article filled with tips and advice from parents all over America! However, not only do you get the parents' personal tips, but you also get professional advice for such things as building self-esteem, teaching etiquette, vaccination schedules, and so many other relevant and sometimes urgent topics.I think of this book as being the equivalent of having several hundred friends that you can pick up the phone to call for advice when your child is in the throes of a tantrum, isn't interested in the potty AT ALL, or won't eat/latch on/give up that binky. There are also sections on planning a vacation with kids, doing crafts, and finding a reliable caregiver, so it's not all kid-behavior oriented...but it is all common-sense, practical advice that when you are on your last nerve, may just add a few axons to the bundle!

Title: Great Book, Covers Everything
Review: I am the mother of a 9 month old baby and I checked out this book at my local library. I was very impressed with this book and the broad range of topics that it covers. It had many great suggestions in it. I love reading Parents magazine and this book is a great resource to have at home. It puts all of the information in one place. I will definitely be buying my own copy!
