Book Reviews of The Pocket Parent
Book Review: Superb !
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the answer for parents who do not have the time to read huge books on crisis control when it comes to energy draining toddlers climbing the walls of parental tolerance!
The book covers the classic problems of toddlerhood and provides simple solutions. The index leads you to a right on message that can be read in just a couple of minutes. And for those who have more time to spend, there is a list of books for further read on each subject.
We have other books that are more in depth but tend to just collect dust in our household. Finding time for books is hard when pressed for time, but this one we use A LOT and would even take with us on travel.
A highly recommended book in deed!
Book Review: Great Resource for Parents and Teachers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a Preschool/Kindergarten teacher. I place this book on a shelf with other Parent Resource books located at the entrance to my classroom. These books can then be signed out by the parents.
I cannot tell you how many parents have praised this book! I saw a difference in my classroom immediately upon implementing some of the strategies myself. It is a quick, easy, and very funny read so the information sticks.
Another book, Teaching with Love & Logic by Jim Fay & David Funk is a more in-depth, educator-based book that echoes the same principles. The portability and quick-reference layout makes this book a must-have for parents- as well as teachers- of young children.
Love it, love it, love it!
Book Review: A-Z Sanity Exclusively for Parents of 2- to 5-year-olds
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book that has really helped me get more cooperation from my 4-year-old...the FIRST time I ask. I totally appreciated the author's humor! I love the size of the book and quick read format ...perfect to take with, always ready to give me a tip to try and at the same time a reassuring 'verbal hug' that no parent or child is perfect. Great gift for any mother or father of a 2- to 5-year-old that can use some sanity!! Just look it up...ANGER, BEDTIME, BITING, BAD WORDS, GIMMES, I HATE YOU'S, INTERRUPTING, LYING, MORNING CRAZIES, SIBLING RIVALRY, TANTRUMS, AND MUCH MORE!Book Review: Wish I got it when I had my first born:)
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book:) I wish I have it when I had my first born although he is 5 now but I am encouraged to buy this book after noticing that my second child is strong will and stubborn than her brother, all my strategies with my eldest won't work on her so I desperately need help. Thank goodness with this book it saves my sanity! I like that you don't need to read it from the beginning to end instead you can just look at the topic you need, most likely work like a dictionary but with really useful advise and example. I highly recommend this book, a must for every mother or parents.Book Review: practical tips and funny stories
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great resource that should be on every parents' shelf! It offers down-to-earth, sensible tips for dealing with a multitude of common parenting dilemmas, but my favorite parts are the funny stories. Being a parent is a hard job, but it's easier if we keep a sense of humor and relish the ridiculous situations that inevitably occur with kids. It's also reassuring to know that the authors have 'been there!' I highly recommend this book.
