This review is from: SuperBaby: 12 Ways to Give Your Child a Head Start in the First 3 Years (Paperback)
this book is a great read for parents to be. I am 34 weeks pregnant for the first time and had no idea how to deal with a baby, but I really wanted to provide the best education for my baby. so far it is very engaging and I can read and read, warning: it is a big book!! but every page has taught me something. Totally recommend it!!

best parenting book,
By mbdoctor - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: SuperBaby: 12 Ways to Give Your Child a Head Start in the First 3 Years (Paperback)
I'm an early childhood educator, and I've read many books on parenting and child development. "Superbaby" introduces a fresh, positive approach to parenting that is based on solid research and best practices. Dr Berman provides a model for parenting that is based on a child-centered approach that encourages parents to develop a healthy relationship with their child. She details specific strategies for supporting early learning in a fun and developmentally-appropriate way.

Great Resource,
By A. Looby "SvleMommy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: SuperBaby: 12 Ways to Give Your Child a Head Start in the First 3 Years (Hardcover)
I often wonder (as I raise two boys) if I'm doing everything wrong. I wonder if I'm talking to them enough. I wonder if I'm holding them enough, without it being too much. I wonder if I'm interacting with them enough. We've turned the TV off for the 4 year old (with the exception of when I have to take a shower in the morning) and he's really been getting creative with his play time. To that end, I was really happy to get to read this book. I have all kinds of "do this to make a happy kid" books and this will make a wonderful addition to that shelf. I knew that it was important to encourage another language in early childhood (have a friend who's kids are bilingual and I think it rocks!) but didn't really know how to do that since I don't speak another language. This gave me some ideas and hopefully I'll pick up some new words as well! I really liked the chapter on play time because I'm not sure what I need to be encouraging in the 9 month old at this time. This gave me ideas as well as a list of toys that are appropriate for him. So, all in all, I was really happy with this book and the ideas/tips is has in it. This may be the book I give expecting parents rather than my usual book which tells them what to expect as the baby grows.I received a copy of the book in return for a review. No additional compensation has been received and I was not required to write a positive review. Thank you to Emily at Sterling for allowing me to review this book. 17 of 20 people found the following review helpful

My new favorite parenting book!! This book is AWESOME!!,
By Lisa Walker "Professional Mom" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: SuperBaby: 12 Ways to Give Your Child a Head Start in the First 3 Years (Hardcover)
This book really delivers on the subtitle that promises to give your child a "head start." I feel like reading this has given me a head start as a parent of an infant (I wish I had read it with my first child!). It is really well researched, fun to read, informative and helpful. I love the illustrations of baby massage and baby sign language! It has lots of great tips. Who knew that using a doormat could reduce lead dust in the house by 50%? I had no idea that reading three books a week could increase my child's vocabulary by 15-40%.Now that I know that, I am reading to all my kids a lot more so I really appreciated her recommended book list in the reading chapter. I have been so tired of reading the same books and she got me discovering a bunch of new ones I never even heard of. Her list is really comprehensive and divided by topics (cloth books, ABC, potty training, big bed, animals, starting preschool, etc.). In the main chapters, Dr. Berman covers twelve different topics: Respectful Communication Responding to Cues Creating Security and Predictability Touch Language Development Baby Sign Language Foreign Languages Reading Play TV Toxic Chemicals Feeding and Nutrition In the additional chapters she also covers: Child Care Preschool Baby Schedules SIDS Resources She also includes all these "From the Experts" boxes from some of my favorite books and experts like: Dr. Karp, Dr. Sears, Positive Discipline, Love & Logic, Super Baby Foods, Signing Time, and Sleepy Planet. I am so glad I got this book. |
