Book Description

March 6, 2000
Being a parent is never easy. And in today's complicated, hustle and bustle world, it can seem next to impossible. The Parenting Survival Kit doesn't offer theories--it provides real solutions to most common parenting issues, problems and concerns--including:

How can I tell if my child is active, overactive, or hyperactive?
Should I place my infant in child care now or wait until later?
What is the ideal approach for toilet training?
Is my child spending too much time in front of a computer and not enough time playing with friends?
How can I alleviate my child's stress about my divorce--and my own stress at the same time?
How do I confront my teenager about drug and alcohol abuse?
Is there a limit to the amount of privacy I should permit my kids?

This invaluable reference is perfect for handling your kids--and yourselves--with care.
Addresses parents' issues of stress, values, work, family conflicts, and parenting as partners
An A-to-Z compendium for easy reference
Includes extensive resource listings for books, videos and websites

4.0 out of 5 stars A good general guide, July 25, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Parenting Survival Kit: How to make it Through the Parenting Years (Paperback)
I appreciate the perspectives that the autor shares about aspects of parenting I may not have considered, particularly in the beginning when addressing several guidelines to keep in mind about all parenting challenges. If you're looking for a comprehensive guide to some particular problem, such as discipline, this probably isn't the book you want. However, if it's sitting on your bookshelf and you're in the middle of dealing with some issue, you can look to it as a resource that will point you in a good direction and to help you learn more.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Parenting Survival Kit : How to Make It Through the Pare, April 20, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Parenting Survival Kit: How to make it Through the Parenting Years (Paperback)
I saw this author on Oprah and thought she had some good ideas, so I rushed out to get her book. But the book was just a basic guide with not anything that you probably haven't tried before with your kids. What I did find useful was in the back of the book she has a resource guide dealing with specific items in the book that you may want to get further information about. Examples include: about four pages of webpage addresses for parenting issues as well as her recommended books, broken down by specific parenting issue.
