Review

SUNDAY EXPRESS MAGAZINE have so far run two serial instalments. REAL Magazine used TRADE SECRETS: PARENTING in Issue 11, (due to be published on 20th May) for a kids section feature. CHAT are using the book for their weekly tips section featuring tips on how to avoid morning sickness- Summer issues. Annie Ashworth wrote an impressive piece for the TES on the subject of parents' evenings which ran day after publication and Karen Dolby wrote an equally interesting article for HEALTHY magazine on hyperactivity. Radio interviews have been done on BBC Radio 5 Live's Simon Mayo Show, BBC Radio WM, BBC Radio Jerseyand BBC Radio Essex. Junior Pregnancy and Baby and Real magazine have reviewed, and there's more to come from Sainsbury's magazine, Parenting, Baby and Junior.

Each series of tips is contributed by individuals who have a lifetime's experience in the subject including doctors, teachers, nannies, child counsellors, midwives, health visitors and, of course, parents.

Bringing up children has never been so simple!

5.0 out of 5 stars A gold mine of information, 22 May 2003
By A Customer
In a time when people have become increasingly specialised in what they do, with certificate education rife and compartmental careers the norm, this book is a must-have. In the past, parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents would have given you a big chunk of this sort of everyday information, which they themselves would have gleaned from a rich and diverse experience of life. But those ties have gradually eroded away. Luckily this book fills the gap.

Maybe that's all nostalgic nonsense. Either way, this book is an indispensable guide to mastering the finer elements of those everyday activities.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good "extra" - not to be used as a basic, 31 Oct 2003
By C. Hurley "Zoonie" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Someone kindly gave me this book just recently and I groaned somewhat, having already invested in the weighty "Dr Sears Baby Book" (very good, btw!) and various other bits and pieces but - and this is the thing - it doesn't do any of the preachy "tis is the way you must make your baby sleep" type stuff - the kind of thing you seem to be forced in to making huge momentous decisions about, or else you're a bad mother.

No, in fact it's just list after list of distilled handy tips from those in the know who've been doing this stuff for years. I picked up one lovely hint which I'm now doing - taking a soft toy to bed with you for a few weeks before the birth and sleeping with it close to your skin - that way it smells of you when baby is born, and acts as even more of a comforter.

Anyway - lots of good stuff like that. It's a bit big and heavy, I think they could probably have done with breaking it up in to sections and selling it as a smaller set of books to be honest - but still worth a look. Not, as I say, as your main reference book though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Consult within upon anything., 19 Mar 2008
By J. Courtney-Bartel "Jen Courtney-Bartel" (Boone, N.C.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Such a useful book.

One of the previous reviewers thought it should have been broken up into several smaller books, I could not disagree more. True, this is a large book, but it's well set out, clearly written and is a font of good old fashioned advice.
My copy always sits on a shelf in my living room, and is my first port of call for a simple answer to most household queries. When I moved to America, it was one of the first things I packed.

I suppose that some of the information I may never actually use, but like the television series this book came from, it is all fascinating stuff.
