The Parenting Bible: The Answers to Parents Most Common Questions

by Robin Goldstein

All in one place for the first time, parents can find answers to the many questions that come up all through a childhood. --Should I pick my baby up when he cries?
--How much babyproofing do I need to do?
--What should I do about temper tantrums?
--Is my child too dependent on me?
--Can too much praise backfire?
--How can I enhance my child's self-image?
--Should I give an allowance?
--How should I handle fads with my pre-teen and teenager?
--Can my older child stay alone after school? Answers to these and hundreds of other questions (more than 200 in all) are given in a thoughtful and balanced manner, allowing parents to choose the solution that will work best for them and their family. Topics cover the age ranges from birth to age 13, and are the questions most often asked of the author as a parenting consultant and educator.

this book was ok but i found myself disagreeing with some of its philosphies. much preferred the "what to expect your first year" version of parenting advice because it provided multiple options/perspectives on each issue.

I didn't agree with a bunch of what she said. She seems to want to throw out a lot of good fundamentals.
