5.0 out of 5 stars An effective and compassionate approach to parenting!, April 23, 2004

This review is from: 20 Secrets to Success with Your Child: Wit and Wisdom from a Mom of 12 (Paperback)

I loved this book! And as the owner of a parenting support company, I have read many books of this type. What distinguishes this book from others is the uniquely compassionate approach of the author. Erin Brown Conroy's expertise comes not only from her education, but from the actual hard work of raising 12 children. Her words carry so much authority, and yet are never condescending. She makes good use of anecdotes to get her point across and to enliven her writing. Most importantly, though, her advice is sure to improve the family lives of everyone who reads it.

This review is from: 20 Secrets to Success with Your Child: Wit and Wisdom from a Mom of 12 (Paperback)

"20 Secrets to Success with Your Child" is the most practical parenting book I've ever read...and the stuff works! I've personally tried "the secrets" and I'm not only a more effective parent, but a less stressed one too. It's easy to read, down to earth, and the author is easy to relate to. You can't go wrong with this book.
