I wish I had this book when my kids were younger! S.K. Joun presents wonderfully creative ideas on how to deal with age old problems...all with charming humor and insight. It also gave me comfort knowing I'm not the only one with these experiences. It's a quick read and I know I will reference it again and again for the great ideas. From start to end, a fabulous book and one I highly recommend it!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best parenting tips!, December 12, 2006

This review is from: Mother of Two's Guide to Sanity (Paperback)

Since the birth of my first child 10 years ago, I must've bought dozens of parenting guides. I can honestly say this one goes to the top of my list for any parent. Now, why wasn't this book around 10 years ago when I realy could've used it? This is not a book by so-called experts - the doctors, the psychiatrists, the behaviorists, etc., etc. This is by another parent who found what worked for her and what I think will work for any parent. It did for me.

I'm amazed how creative some of the solutions are in this book about getting the baby to sleep through the night, getting my older ones to listen without sounding like a nag, and creating time with my husband too! It is so easy to read, so easy to understand, and so easy to use every day.

I've only had the book for two weeks and I've seen so much improvement at home. I'm finally getting some sleep! I've shared some of the tips with my sister, parents of other students at my son's school and at these mothers support groups. They think I'm some sort of an expert! I'd recommend this book to anyone.
