truly wonderful
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
this is really a wonderful book - giving readers outlines of the different stages of parenthood. I especially enjoyed the last few chapters... it gave me an understanding of what to expect and how i would cope with the fact that my children would one day leave the house to have a family of their own. Be confident and loving... in this cycle of life. A must read.
Help for every stage

My 17-year-old daughter left this morning for three months of making her dreams come true. I would have been mopey and left to feel sorry for myself had I not read this book. Understanding the stages and phases of my life as a mother -- and as a daughter -- is practical and valuable. I highly recommend this book.
Perfect Gift for New Parents

We received this book after our first child was born. I was SO glad to have this book, it validated all my feelings about having a newborn in the house and helped me gain perspective on what is in store. At a time of so much chaos, this book really grounded me! I look forward to using it as my child grows and my role as a mother continues to change.
A must have parenting book

I'm a volcano dweller and a psychotherapist and I love the truth in this book. I thought I was going to mold my children, little did I realize how much they were going to mold me. This will be an absolute "must read" for all my clients who are parents. A definite "sanity enhancer" for those "how did I get myself into this" moments!
For EVERY Parent (and Grandparent)...A MUST!

As a mother of toddlers, this book has helped me appreciate how precious this "season" really is. After reading this book, I now know what to expect and will have more confidence in handling the ups & downs of parenthood. This is a MUST READ for anyone who is a parent-to-be thru a grandparent!
