Complete Idiot's Guide to Motherhood: 3

Ms Herman takes you through pregnancy to adulthood in this all encompassing guide to raising your children to be creative, loving,and have high self esteem. This guide takes you through the REAL world along with Ms Herman as she spins examples of what has happened in her own life and how she and her children have dealt with various stages and experiences that her family has grown through. I appreciate this book for that. It is not all fluff, baby pink and blue, but it deals with life and how to live it and come out proud of your children and of YOU!I also love the spiritual guidance that she has sprinkled throughout the book. This is not heavy handed, but given in love and it is good advice! She talks about the various spiritual lessons that one goes through in life and it is a resource that I will go back to again and again.Overall, I would recommend and purchase this book for any parent and I have! The title itself is a stress reliever for new anxious parents and it is a hit at showers. The contents of the book reinforces that angle as it lets you know in a loving way that everyone makes mistakes and it is never too late to start correcting them for your child's sake.
