Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Public radio host, regular on the Today show with her "Raising Kids in the '90s" series, and columnist for Family Life magazine, Rimm (psychiatry, Case Western Reserve Univ.) brings both public appeal and strong credentials to this sensible guide to raising children, addressing both common annoyances and deeper issues. Uniquely organized, the book consists of "cornerstones" rather than chapters, with groups of questions and answers concluding each section. Innovative techniques, called "parent pointers," are placed in the margins to facilitate skimming (though they can be distracting). Those seeking guidance on specific issues such as shyness, bedtime battles, and attention deficit disorders will find answers easily. Also included are less frequently discussed topics like immigrants as parents, grandparenting, and insights into how a couple's marital relationship may affect their children. The section on study habits is particularly strong. Though there may be some overlap with Rimm's earlier works (How To Parent So Children Will Learn, Apple, 1989, and Why Bright Kids Get Poor Grades, Crown, 1995), this practical and wise book is a good selection for public libraries and, given Rimm's renown, is sure to be popular.
