.Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters: 10 Secrets Every Father Should Know
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Meg Md Meeker

August 28, 2007
Good message, good examples, well-written, easy-to-read.

Do I give 5 stars for everything I read? No- actually- I can think of another book on raising boys that I read that was pretty weak.

But this is written by a woman who knows what she's talking about (she is a doctor who works with kids and sees their interactions with their parents). All of her points that are opinion are supported by examples from her work. All of her points that are factual are well-referenced.

In other words, she's not just saying what she thinks and what she's observed. She spent a good bit of time researching this material.

MUST read- even if you only have boys, because inevitably, you will have a daughter ... Read More:

.Super Baby Food
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Ruth Yaron

1998-06
This was the most useful book I received after I had my little girl. There is so much useful information that a new mom just doesn't know. I enjoyed making the food and finding creative ways to make it even more healthy. I utilized this book long after the baby food diet stopped. I have bought several copies for pregnant friends and always tell them this is the only book you will need......ever.

.Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish

December 14, 2004
With a toddler and a newborn it's hard to find time to read anything. This book was such an easy read. The cartoons are a great help because it's simple. I borrowed this from the library but owning one is a must so that I can refer back to it whenever I need to.

.21 Pounds in 21 Days: The Martha's Vineyard Diet Detox
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Roni Deluz, James Hester

May 08, 2007
I bought the book first & once I was mentally ready I bought the plan from Ebay (much cheaper than from the actual site.) I stuck with it for 21 days & I lost 15 lb. It has been 1 month, today, since my 21st day & I am maintaining & I have lost more on my own. This book/plan altered my lifestyle. I cleansed my body, mind, closet, fridge & pantry. I am a procrastinator too - go figure.

My friend just finished & lost 16 lb. If you are ready you will succeed. I didn't do any enemas, colonics, etc. I did what I could afford & had time for. I treated myself w/something ea week. I did the detox bath (very inexpensive) & I had 2 massages. I didn't juice anything either. I just drank what I bought..I ... Read More:

.The Color of Water 10th Anniversary Edition

loved this book. my son is also bi-racial. i was born in 1956 and could really relate and re-read the book with my son. he never experienced most of the things in the book so it was an incredible sharing and bonding experience for us and it opened a whole new dialogue with his dad who's family originated in north carolina. great read for all parents and children. truly enlightening

.Mom's Family Calendar 2009
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Sandra Boynton

June 15, 2008
This calendar is wonderful - 5 columns so each family member has their own column every day. Everyone in our family is so active that a regular calendar block was no longer big enough. It did take a few months to get used to looking across the column to see everyone's activities for that day (it's like a word processing Table), but this is the 4th year I've used this kind of calendar and I would never go back to a traditional one.

.Driven To Distraction : Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood
City Travel Guides > Books > Parenting and Families
by: Edward M. Hallowell, John J. Ratey

March 02, 1995
Honestly, the title of my review wasn't originally intended to be funny. I came on Amazon to look up the publishing date for a footnote/bibliography reference for this book. I now have spent too much time reading reviews on diet books and updating my other reviews on movies and phones to do this review justice.

But if you're looking it up, you don't want a long review anyway. It is the best book in the world for someone with ADD, thinks they might have ADD or someone who has to live with a person with ADD.

BUY IT NOW!! Before you get distracted.
