How to Con Your Kid: Simple Seams for Mealtime, Bedtime, Bathtime--Anytime! [With Stickers]

Great suggestions in this book, for situations that are not easy. I have bought 5, for gifts to new parents and/or grandparents. Fun to read. Wish I had this book before my first born, 42 years ago. I love it.

I don't have any children but began buying this book for friends who were having babies. I think the ideas in this book are fun and my pregnant friends and now-parents find them amusing with lots of good ideas that turn daily activities into games that really will scam your kid.

I cannot understand WHY this book is no longer available! Thankfully, I was able to get a copy, but it shouldn't be this hard. In fact, they should give you this book along with "What To Expect..." when you leave the hospital! I loved how it comes up with creative and fun solutions to everyday problems. Please put this book back into print, for Mothers everywhere!

very funny and enlightening on how to really get you kids to agree to do things. It's mostly lighthearted good, fun advice. I bought the book and have really enjoyed reading it.

By design, two-year olds often don't want to do what you want them to do, leading to the well documented Parent-Toddler Power Struggle. Of course, I know these can often be avoided by turning the task into a game, adventure or song. But really, when I'm rushing to get out the door, I've already cleaned up 3 spills, my oldest can't find his shoes, and my two-year old refuses to allow me to brush her hair, my creative mind shuts down. I was having just such a morning and literally ran to find this book, looked up brushing your toddler's hair and one minute later my daughter was happily letting me brush her hair while I sang a song about getting the knotty witch out. The best part was I left the house that morning feeling not like a harried mother bullying her kids into doing what she needed them to do, but a clever and creative mother with two happy children. I am giving this book to all my friends who have toddlers.
