I’m way, way behind on all my reviews, having been sick in bed and reading a lot for two weeks. But here’s a start: A number of my friends with four-year-olds and close to fours have been complaining of resurgent … Continue reading

We were talking in my mother’s group about what to teach our children about strangers. We want our kids to be safe, we said, but we also don’t want them walking around scared of everybody. How do you make friends … Continue reading

Sneaky Chef by Missy Chase Lapine Lapine starts the book with a rather lengthy argument for hiding veggies rather than forcing kids to eat them undisguised. She then gets down to business, explaining the theory of hiding unpopular nutrition inside … Continue reading

1-2-3 Magic
1-2-3 Magic by Thomas W. Phelan I am always suspicious of parenting books that say, “If our method doesn’t work for you, you’re not following the instructions correctly.” Different kids work very differently. At any rate, this is a punishment-based … Continue reading
The Happiest Toddler on the Block
It’s been a while since I read a parenting book… The Happiest Toddler on the Block by Harvey Karp, M.D. The Happiest Baby on the Block was a good book, though it was really aimed only at the first three … Continue reading
