User Reviews about The Big Book of Parenting Solutions: 101 Answers to Your Everyday Challenges and Wildest Worries (Child Development)

Have a parenting question? Michele Borba will answer it! She has managed to address the majority of concerns that parents have in a clear, easy-to-understand and comprehensive format. The table of contents says it all: a straightforward list of typical parenting problems that is easy to access. If your child has morning problems, social problems, academic problems, behavioral problems or any other problems, you only have to scan the table of contents and turn to the right page. Michele will take it from there. As a parenting "expert" myself (for the past 30 years!), I routinely puruse new parenting books to see how other authors approach parenting challenges. Since I already know more than most readers about this subject, it is pretty hard to impress me. However, Michele Borba has done it in spades! Her sheer scope of issues addressed is impressive. More importantly, she gives very complete information, describing both the issue and its solution in detail. She offers cognitive, behavioral and emotional interventions - all grounded in solid psychological theory and research. The Big Book of Parenting Solutions is a trusted companion on the parenting journey, and I am certainly happy to recommend it to my own clients.

I think this book will come in handy over the next 5-7 years. We have two girls who are toddlers now so we'll be referring to this often I'm sure. Great layout of the content and overall information. -- Great go-to book.

AWESOME BOOK! Very easy navigation - great solutions for every circumstance. For example, I tried out the recommended techniques in the chapter on "listening" (that's always a challenge with a 5 year old), and they have been working GREAT! In the beginning we had some ups and downs, to the point where my daughter was yelling at me because she was frustrated with the consequences of not listening. I quickly took a time out, ran to my room, and read the chapter on "yelling". I used those techniques simultaneously and everything worked out smoothly. I have been highly recommending this book to all the parents at my daughter's school - even the teachers are commenting on what a great book this is! I know it will come in very handy throughout the next few years being that it covers quite a large age range (3-13) with many emotional and behavioral sections. -- Every parent should have this book...

Guess I expected to"need" more of the info provided. It's a good book, good price, I just didn't relate to a lot of the info. -- Good Book
