Beyond Toddlerdom: Every Parents guide to the 5-12 ... - By: R. Dionot-Ilbegi, 17 Dec 2006 
This book has been & still is my Bible for keeping track of changes in my children. It is written with great sense of humour, gives practical advice without exaggeration, & I highly recommed it.
Words of wisdom - By: joannethomas64@yahoo.co.uk, 20 May 2001 This is a very informative & entertaining book; not just for parents who need advice with specific problems but also for parents who are keen to avoid problems before they arrive. The author covers alll aspects of successful child rearing in an absolutely no-nonsense, down-to-earth manner. (It's definitely not full of any 'latest-fad', extreme psychoanalyst nonsense!) Surprisingly, this was an extremely entertaining book; the author has an excellent sense of humour, which combined with his experience & ability to observe & understand our little ones' behaviour results in some classic examples of observations. Every topic you could imagine (and a few you didn't think of!) is included. Multiple solutions are offered to problems & alll are workable & straightforward. The wisdom this man imparts is impressive but he maintains a modest stance. He does not lay blame & guilt on any parent's doorstep, but understanding & some damn good suggestions. There are no perfect parents, just many of us who want to do our best for our children & this book is a good friend. It's supportive, only slightly critical in a constructive manner, full of sound advice within your limits to achieve, experienced, humorous & available. Unfortunately children don't come with an Owners' Guide, this is the nearest & best you' find. Happy parenting!
excellent practical advice and very amusing - By: , 20 Oct 2000 As per Toddler Taming, Christopher Green has surpassed himself with sound practical advise written in such a way so as to amuse the reader but also leaving them in no doubt that they are normal parents with normal children. He includes some very reassuring yet surprising advice - e.g. it is OK to bribe your kids into good behaviour! My Toddler Taming book is dog eared & ragged from age & reading it so often - I assume this book will have the same the same fate!
An absolute must to have. - By: sarah.eaglen@tesco.net, 20 May 2000 Christopher Green made me feel human with Toddler Taming, some things he said were so obvious you just don't see them & I can only comment that this book has made me feel human once again - having not known what to do with my 3 yr olds tantrums. Definitely the only book I recommend to everyone interested or involved with kids!
A must have - By: , 17 Apr 2000 This is simply the book to have if you have kids.Already i have identified problems peculiar to my situation { the whinging child being one} & have found excellent & workable advice on how to deal with situations. It can also affirm where you have been getting it right and! where you went hopelessly wrong!
