How to Succeed in Parenting: 120 Ways to Have a Great Family
I happened upon this book by chance in the book store. My demanding toddler had been frustrating me and I needed some words of wisdom. What I found was a wonderful, wise, supportive, nurturing book with lots of practical tips. My favorites are the “games for toddlers to play so they stay out of your hair while you are cooking.” This book should be standard issue for every new parent. I will be getting several copies for friends.
Rating: 5 / 5
As someone who is planning to have a family soon, I really appreciated the advice of a parent without all the technical mumbo jumbo. I particularly appreciated the fact that it took a holistic approach to raising children and did not just focus on one particular stage of development. In addition, it was an easy reader and I recommend it to any parent or parent-to-be.

The author does a wonderful job of helping the reader navigate through each stage of parenting in a user-friendly and practical way. The book is unlike other parenting books in that it does discuss issues and challenges that arise throughout a parent’s life and does not focus on just one stage of child development. The highlight of this book is the chapter on creativity, which contains suggestions and insights that will not only enrich a parent’s own life, but certainly the development and happiness of the whole family unit. I highly recommend this book to those who want useful concrete advice ather than just clinical or esoteric information.
