5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute "must-read" for mothers-to-be and fathers-to-be everywhere., January 8, 2008
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Winner of the National IPPY Gold medal for parenting books (an award created and hosted by "Independent Publisher" magazine), Got the Baby Where's the Manual?!? Respectful Parenting from Birth Through the Terrific Twos is a solid guide to braving the transition from couple to family, and looking after one's child for the first two years of life. Chapters discuss how to be kind yet set limits, raising a child with healthy self-esteem, common misperceptions and parenting myths to watch out for, and much more. Therapist, educator, and writer Dr. Joanne Baum pays specific attention to matters that may catch unwary new parents by surprise, such as the necessity of learning to sleep when a new baby sleeps or allowing the house to become a little messier than it used to be. Also discussed are the decision of whether to nurse and how to go about it, how to tell whether behavioral oddities in one's child are a worrisome enough to warrant visiting an expert, how to tackle the challenge of co-parenting, steps to take keep an unhappy situation from degenerating into divorce, steps to take if divorce is unavoidable, and much more. Got the Baby Where's the Manual?!? is written for new parents of every walk of life, including married and unmarried couples, straight and gay couples, or single parents of either gender, and is an absolute "must-read" for mothers-to-be and fathers-to-be everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Have Baby ... You Need This Book, October 23, 2007
Dr. Joanne Baum has written a fabulous book for any new parent. Beginning with the pre-birth, she caringly walks new parents (and grandparents) through the key aspects of baby and toddlerhood that many of us take for granted, yet she offers a number of twists that leave you with an "aha"--this a a perfect gift for all those baby showers and gifts...what they don't need is another t-shirt. This will be a major asset in their upbringing...for both baby and parent.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!, August 14, 2007
I loved this book! I was desperately searching for help with my 2 1/2 year old....testing limits, pushing boundaries and power stuggles. I felt as if I were being "broken open."
If you want to parent from your heart with grace and compassion you must read this book. Dr. Baum is incredibly insightful, wise, and down to earth. Her suggestions have not only helped me turn the "terrible twos" into the "terrific twos" but have inspired me to approach parenting in a whole new light. Thank you Dr. Baum for this amazing gift.
