...well, I guess you're suppose to whip this baby out in the midst of a wicked arms flailing, legs flying tantrum....throw your hands up in the air and scream, "Wait, wait - time out!! I must read the amusing anecdote on page 15 before we can proceed!!"
I found this guide - I wouldn't call it a book - a little too Brady Bunch for my tastes. The guide is comprised of a lot of "stories with morals." The stories are a little too clean and the outcome's too predictable. The pages are filled with comm...more

Where has this little book been hiding? It's crammed with thoughtful, sensible, useful & usable advice.
Eh. Some good points and in an easy-to-look-up-stuff format, but nothing really eye opening.
Loved the way this book was set up - by problem! Offers guidance/solutions for everything.
I haven't read this book cover to cover, but it's more like a reference book. I think overall it has been helpful. Especially when I am at my wits end with a particular parenting scenario. I do think it is rather idealistic at times and super cheesed up, but it gives good ideas and if not an idea that will work directly, reading this helps lead to other ideas to try. Overall, it's been handy to have around. Would technically give it 3.5 stars.
An excellent resource, with great tips to implement immediately. It also has a very pro-parent slant, unlike many books these days -- realizing that we parents do make mistakes, and that guilt doesn't help. I don't often buy parenting books, but I will be purchasing this one.
The book contains useful ideas & is well-organized to help you skip to the section that you need.
I read just the sections that apply to my kids, a son age 4 and triplets age 2. So I guess that means I had to read a whole bunch of sections...help me?!?!...haha

Some really helpful tips for dealing with toddler and preschooler issues. It's a quick reference guide with great advice that you can pick and choose ideas from when you need them!
Good, quick-hit parenting advice for the preschool set. A lot of it is common sense, but still helpful when you find yourself at a loss.
Very helpful thus far. Good on giving quick advice and reinforcing love!
