4.0 out of 5 stars a delightful & inspiring accessory for parenting bookshelves, August 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: You Just Don't Duct Tape a Baby!: True Tales and Sensible Suggestions from a Veteran Pediatrician (Hardcover)

A great book to read for humorous & enlightening case stories regarding parenting & children. Bottom line: reminds parents to widen their scope of vision when problem-solving and to understand there are different ways for them to approach problems. As with all advice books, there is a good selection of tips (derived on your own from reading the stories) from which parents can choose what works for them. Format provides for easy reading and several chuckles.

Though I had a hard time getting through the first couple chapters, once I got into this book--it was excellent. Dr. Weinberger's advice is so gently couched in delightful anecdotes that you hardly even realize your reading advice until you find yourself saying, "ah, good idea." Had he given the advise directly, rather than in an illustration, it wouldn't have hit home the same way. Its not a textbook, but is for the parent who has a grasp on the basics and is looking for something a little deeper, and something inspiring.
