What to Expect When You're Expecting: 4th Edition 31 reviews
Heidi Murkoff, Sharon Mazel
Workman Publishing Company, 2008
A mommy-to-be's best friend!
This is by far the best purchase I've made so far! This book has everything I ever wanted/needed to know. I worried less about the pregnancy because I knew more about what was going on and it helped my husband understand a little more what we are going through. Plus, it goes hand-in-hand with the website. If you don't have this book, go get it! If someone you know is expecting, this will be the ...

The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-Be, Second Edition240 reviews
Armin A. Brott
Abbeville Press, 2001
Great for 1st Time Dads
My husband has really enjoyed this book. He likes to know what's going on with baby and me. I enjoy him sharing little tidbits with me also. This book also covers topics that Dads-to-be may feel anxious about such as money matters and the labor process. The only thing he has mentioned is that he'll read the section for the month I'm in so quick, that he'll have nothing else to read for ...

Dr. Kevin Leman
Revell, 2008
Several new kids!
Excellent book! I am the mom of 11- and 15-year old boys, 17- and 19-year old girls (one away at college). I read the book in three days and began to implement the straight-forward suggestions. I saw results in one day! After two days my 15-year-old son asked if I was trying out what I was reading. I told him I was and asked what he noticed. He said, "Well, we are arguing with you a lot less." ...

Thomas W. Phelan
Parentmagic, Inc., 2004
I have bought 3 copies to give to friends.....
Easy to read, funny, supportive, if you have challenging kids....you MUST try this.
This is a postitive disciple technique that does not ignore that there are times when children need limits and a loss of privelege.
I've tried many techniques which did not work when my daughter was biting, tantruming, and putting cracks in our wall (banging it) during time-outs. I started 1/2/3 Magic with ...

Denise Fields
Windsor Peak Press, 2007
Best baby stuff book...ever
This is the most complete resource on buying baby stuff. I can't begin to explain how much excellent information is contained within this book. For example, there is even a quick reference guide on which brands of baby clothes are most durable and which ones fall apart in the wash (and how to tell if the garment is pre-washed or if it will shrink). I also found that most, if not all, of the ...

Robert Sears
Little, Brown and Company, 2007
Straight-forward. Easy to read and understand.
This book offers a straight-forward, comprehensive look at each of the vaccines given to children of all ages. It is the best vaccine reference I have found that combines both sides of the argument. It gives you very sound and resonable information for making vaccine decisions. I am a person who believes that modern and wholistic medicine each have their place and should work hand-in-hand and ...

Fireside, 1986
BEST for teaching reading!
I loved teaching to read so much I wrote an essay about the "ah-ha" moment when it "clicked" with my 4-1/2 year-old niece. When you get to experience something like that you can't imagine letting someone else have that opportunity!
I have used this book to teach four different children (all girls). The ages at the start of the program were 2yrs 10 months (finished at 3-1/2), 4-1/2 years, ...

Helpful, down-to-earth advice on talking about sex

I know that for many parents this is a difficult issue, and in this book Dr. Chirban provides warm encouragement and practical ways to open up a continuing dialogue with your kids. While it's important to start sex ed early, it's never too late.
I particularly like that Dr. Chirban stresses ...

Amazing and empowering - this book changes lives
This book is so empowering for women. Thanks to Taking Charge of Your Fertility, I was able to determine I probably had PCOS (which I did) and was finally able to get pregnant after years of trying to conceive. I was even able to determine that I was probably having a girl when I was only three weeks pregnant! (I have a two-year-old daughter now.) I've used the TCOYF method for pregnancy ...

Elizabeth Pantley, William Sears
McGraw-Hill, 2002
Great book!
This book gave me some great suggestions and reinforced some things I was already doing. Personally, I find the cry it out method to be mean, so I was looking for another solution. If you feel the same way, get this book. It will help and has many suggestions depending on what's right for your family.
