I found the book to be very informative. Unfortunately, it seems to mostly have tidbits and suggestions that will benefit the mom of younger children. There were a few suggestions that went to the age of Tween, but most were came across as younger aged children to me.

This disappoints me as my youngest is a tween, and it's in the tween/teen years that I find myself searching for assistance much the same way I did when they were toddlers and pre-school age.

Otherwise I found it very informative. I liked, and have used many of the suggestions previously.
