Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Forget quicksand and shark attacks, child-rearing is the truly terrifying activity. A screaming baby on an airplane, no diapers (!), monsters hiding in the closet, a long family car trip, the first date - these are the high-risk adventures you need to survive. Fortunately, the authors of the phenomenally best-selling Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series now keep parents safe, from cradle to teens. Hands-on, step-by-step instructions show you how to remove objects stuck in a child's nose or gum stuck in hair, and how to survive endless soccer games, slumber parties, and sleep deprivation. From baby-proofing the house to dealing with a dead pet, from the perils of the play-date to explaining about the birds and the bees, this essential guide tells parents what to really expect when your worst-case scenario is all in the family.

About the Author
Joshua Piven stayed out past curfew, still has temper tantrums, and avoids Brussels sprouts. With David Borgenicht, he is co-author of the Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series. He lives in Philadelphia. David Borgenicht is co-author of all the books in the Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series, and the co-parent of beautiful Sophie Borgenicht. He has survived months without a decent night's sleep, as well as diaper disasters no one cares to discuss. He lives in Philadelphia. Sarah Jordan is a survivor of induced labor, mommy groups, nanny searches, and debates on issues such as tummy time and binky-addiction. She lives in Philadelphia with her husband and son.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great to read if it's the only book in the house, August 15, 2008
This book is tries to be funny and helpful, but falls short on both fronts. It's useless as a guildine as often times there's no clear distinction between humor and honest advice. There are much much better books available, skip this one...
