Great Ideas For A Successful Future
I loved this book!!! It has so many great ideas to help parents instill important values in the minds and hearts of their children. It also opens the door of communication for parents and children, which is so very important for a good relationship as the "kids" become adults and go through the difficult "growing up" years. Though I didn't "love" every single idea, I think parents will find ...

Turn off the TV and have some fun!
As a mother of two young boys, age 6 and 8, I can tell you that kids would much rather plop down and watch cartoons rather than make their own fun. Ms. Ellison's book has changed all that in my family. Now the kids flip through the book with me to find an activity they'd like to do, and don't even complain that they're missing their favorite TV shows! My oldest son has even started a club for the ...

A must-read for anyone in this election year
This book is an impressive compilation of essays by a multitude of women on topics as varied as our individual histories. As a contributor, I was excited to be a part of this amazing project, but the end result surpassed even my expectations. The essays are engrossing and thought-provoking, backed up by facts and resources for the reader to continue her or his own research on the subject. This is ...

Wonderful book, great author
I read this book a few years ago, not too long after my own separation and divorce. It inspired me and I also had a chance to be a member on the forum that Sheila had for single moms at the time. She asked for volunteers to be interviewed for her second book "The courage to love again". Of course I offered and she called me at home to interview me! What a thrill! I had a chance to speak with her ...

Excellent Resource
I absolutely love this book. I bought it when my daughter was 15 months old and it has been a wonderful resource. It's wonderful to have in a pinch when it's rainy outside and your little one is cranky b/c there's "nothing to do". Highly recommend it!

365 Ways to Raise Great Kids

Sourcebooks, Inc., 1998

creative, thoughtful manual to raise happy kids with morals
Many of the activities in this book are fun, though some are a little too idealistic for my family. However, it's a good resource if you're looking for ways to create long lasting memories in your kids (memory tree, creating a scrapbook, etc.), teach them morals and facts of life (such as dealing with death, etc.). It also has many good ideas for keeping communication open with your children.

great cookbook (for kids AND parents) with tons of variety!
frankly, i was a bit surprised to read the negative reviews for this book! out of 365 recipes, of course you're not going to like every single one of them. my kids DO love fish and vegetables, and sheila ellison gives me plenty of different, fun ways to prepare healthy meals for them in this book (as well as many other kinds of food, of course). many of the recipes are ideal for the kids to ...
