5.0 out of 5 stars I see my son, July 29, 2000

By 

Young Mom who loves her baby (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dear Mommy and Daddy (Paperback)

I received this wonderful book over a year ago when I was in the hospital having my son. A few months later his father left us. I received several parenting books, but didn't feel like reading. I was busy finding a job and feeling sad and scared. One day I decided to finally clean up the books stacked up beside my bed, and I was drawn to this book. For me to take the time to find this site and to write this, means I am motivated (I have never done this before). I don't know who will ever read this, but I want to some way say "thank you"! I love the way the book is written, it is written from my baby son to me. I "see" him now... I understand his feelings better... and I even understand my feelings better. I realize he has been going through hard things because I have been struggling. I have grown up over night! I am the MOM, and my job is to understand and care for my child! I got so much from the house cleaning and cooking section- My gosh - I never thought that much about the house and how it affects us... Thank you, thank you! I wish more young Moms could have this great book so they could SEE what these little kids need from their parents!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good common sense!, November 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dear Mommy and Daddy (Paperback)

Since I teach parenting classes, I have been looking (for years) for common sense parenting books. Thank goodness I ran across this one! My teaching efforts are simplified, the parents are not struggling to understand, the awareness and progress with the younger teen Moms is amazing! I recommend it to parents, grandmothers, teachers, day care workers and anyone who cares about children.

5.0 out of 5 stars As an Instructor I am grateful, October 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dear Mommy and Daddy (Paperback)

I work with parents or teen and single Moms on a regular basis. I am always looking for parenting books that will help me be more teachable. DEAR MOMMY DEAR DADDY certainly filled the bill! How wonderful to finally find a parenting book that expresses needs, wants and concerns of young children. I see it as a special training program for the parent from their child. So easy to follow and to understand. When I use the common sense (basic) messages in the book, my class actually listens. When I ask them to read a section, they actually read it (and understand what it says)! I have overcome many obstacles because of this wonderful parenting book, written as if by the baby & young child. "Thank you!"
