Impressive information on learning needs and differences.
This is a well thought out book, user friendly and refreshingly entertaining.

I have a confession. I know the author and her family well, but that shouldn't preclude me from offering a review of her inspiring work. You really are putting your head on the block writing this kind of book if you're not 'walking the talk'. The Atkins family are a close happy foursome and are proof that this Dummies guide does what it says on the label.
As a father of one nearly four year old, I know that my wife and I have many challenges ahead and the beauty of this book is that you can dip in and out as and when the need arises and the advice is crafted in the successful mould of the franchise - clear and concise.
The cover price is a steal - get a copy and enjoy the journey.
