Customer Reviews

I want to buy this book for every parent I know.

It is for EVERY kind of parent -- those who work outside of the home AND those who stay home to work; fathers AND mothers; single parents AND parents who share responsibilities. I've read many parenting books and I've never actually priced one to see if I could afford to buy it for all my friends. But this book is full of so much wisdom -- real gems from people who have BEEN THERE! Each article is well-written and full of heart-felt wisdom from all different kinds of parents. I read one article a day so I can reflect on it and look at how the ideas are manifested in my parenting and how I can be a better parent. Every new parent should receive a copy of this book as soon as the child arrives home!

I DON'T AGREE WITH THE OTHER REVIEWER

I am a single mom and my best friend bought this book for me. Because I am a new mom I don't know any of the authors out there. All of the books were confusing because I didn't know whose advice to take. Parent School is full of different advice by different experts so you get a taste of each of their beliefs. I've already bought Nancy Samalin's book because all of her information was in the back of Parent School. Because of Parent School I was able to pick an expert I really like and buy her book.Parent School is a MUST-HAVE because for those of us who don't have a clue who the experts are this is the BEST PLACE TO START.

Perfect Gift

Once I saw this book, I knew I had found the perfect gift for new parents, and parents just looking for some advice. What a great idea. Finally, a resource that teaches parents the lessons that they wished they had learned in school. Leading experts in the field provide their opinions on parenting, organized in an easy to follow lesson plan. Two close friends of mine just had babies and I plan to send each one of them this book.

Essential

Parent School is an essential guide for parents with kids of all ages. This book is different than other parenting books because it offers varying advice from many experts. You receive information from many different voices instead of one author. As parents of a young boy we have found this book to offer practical advice along with reassuring thoughts and encouragement as we try to raise an emotionally healthy child. The manner in which the book is written is excellent since each chapter offers advice in a straight-to-the-point way. There is no fluff - just practical information.We found this book to be an amazing collection. It is far superior to the myriad of medicore material available. This may be the holy grail of parenting books.

Now put all the other parent guides back on the bookshelf !

This is the only one I need now,this is the one I keep on the nightstand so I can refer to it. I put all the other parenting books back on the shelf.The broad range of topics all under the same cover makes it the best refernce to use! Now when my friends have their first child, this is the book I will give them.
