Book Reviews of Loving Each One Best: A Caring and Practical Approach to Raising Siblings
Book Review: An overdue thanks
Summary: 5 Stars
The biggest challenge of parenting for me (my husband and I raised four children, close in age) was always the sibling issue -- dealing with squabbles, making sure one child wasn't feeling neglected, avoiding greasing only the squeaky wheel, etc. This book served as a parenting friend for me during those wonderfully challenging years. Samalin provided support, encouragement, and very specific advice (such as responding to a child's desire, not the complaint). She recognized and accepted my occasional anger and gave me ways to deal with it. She injected a light-heartedness that improved my perspective. Most importantly, she helped me become a better mother than I otherwise would have been. So I highly recommend this book to anyone else in the thick of raising a family.
Summary of Loving Each One Best: A Caring and Practical Approach to Raising Siblings
All those baby boomers who have embarked on the journey of raising their second and third children have found themselves left in the lurch by existing child care literature. Now child care expert Nancy Samalin, who has earned a reputation for her forgiving and empowering approach to parenting, brings her inspiring outlook to this guide to the pitfalls and rewards of parenting two or more children.Parents who consider themselves pros after the first child are in for a surprise when the encounter life after the second child is born and beyond. Suddenly their world is an exhausting haze of competing demands, perpetual squabbling, sibling rivalry, complaints of unfairness and "you love him more" (and sometimes you do), unrelenting stress, and a pervasive sense of guilt and inadequacy. Culled from her years of workshops with hundreds of parents, Nancy Samalin shares the trials and joys of parenthood and provides specific advice on steering your way through the parenting rapids. This is a must-read for today's harried parents.
