Best baby shower gift EVER!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This is the only baby shower gift I will give anymore. Childhood is too precious and serious a time to waste on dumb stuff. Parents need to realize they are raising tomorrows adults and this book is one of the best guides to do just that! I found this book over 25 years ago and my oldest daughter used to complain when she saw me reading it. My neice used to hide her moms copy!! It's easy to read and follow and impliment and I would encourage anyone to find a copy, new or used and give it as a gift for any new parent.
Good Ideas for a house full of kids!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book had lots of great information about the things we NEED to teach our kids before they venture out into the unknown. With 5 kids ranging in age from 18 years to 10 months, everyone is in a different place and it has been fun to watch the younger kids learn from the older kids. We have some goals in place for each kid and they are eager to start learning lots of "grown up" things!
Excellent Book!

I borrowed this book from the library and felt lost when I had to give it back. So I want to get one for myself to keep and use whenever I need to reference back to it. Great ideas that we will definitely be using around here.
Good practical advise for teaching life skills to kids
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I am already utilizing several ideas from this book and I haven't finished reading it yet! The concept of teaching practical life skills to one's children to develop their self-confidence as well as helpfulness is great. My children are responding very well to new habit formation. They are also looking forward to getting their own recipe book with foods they can make themselves without Mom hanging around.
Well worth reading...and rereading periodically.

This is a great book. I've been hording my neighbor's dog-eared copy for a few years now. Every time I look at it, I find something other tool to try. I've finally decided that it is time to buy my own copy and let my neighbor lend hers to someone else who could use it.
