Summary: Great Troubleshooting Reference Book
Comment: I bought this fabulous book due to the helpful cover story article in Redbook Magazine, January, 2004 edition. On pages 106-107 (in a section called "Simple Solutions"), concise, sensible excerpts from "The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Parenting" covered some of the most troubling situations parents face with their kids. The article highlights 5 common ones. What to do when gum gets in her hair, how to get a marble out of a child's nose, how to deal with a dead pet, how to untie a severely knotted shoelace, and how to help your child pee (safely) by the side of the road (all of which we have faced with our 3 and 5 year olds!) I personally found that removing gum by freezing it with an ice cube works! Blowing a short but forceful puff of air into my child's mouth while gently pressing the unclogged nostril closed easily popped the pea out of my 3 year old's nose, and choosing not to automatically yank and tug the massive tight tangle in the sneaker shoelace but rather inserting and wiggling the tines of a fork in the middle to loosen the tightest part first did the trick in a few minutes. "Doable" parent friendly book with tons of advice for sticky situations. Then on the next page of the magazine (page 108) were more "Simple Solutions" for breaking bad behavior habits. I especially liked the sensible suggestions from the author of "The Pocket Parent" about how to stop preschoolers' hitting and tattling. I highly recommend both of these helpful books, one on crises solutions and the other on behavior solutions for 2-5 year olds. These two books are both quick read reference guides with a variety of solutions for each problem. Especially helpful for maintaining the sanity and patience of loving but often stressed-out parents of young children.

Summary: Finally a manual for parents
Comment: When I was interviewed, as one of the experts, for this book, I was excited to see that parents would finally have a manual on how to avoid some of the worst case scenarios for parenting. Parents need all the help they can get. As a parent of four teens, I could have used a manual like this ages ago. Obviously, you can't put into a manual everything that one needs to do. There are already books on that and it would take a manual the size of the Encyclopedia Brittanica to cover it all. Having a handy, quick reference for some of the tough spots is what most parents need. This has been my goal for my parenting site at www.parentingtoolbox.com and it is the goal of this book. Get it today!
