Summary: This is NOT the typical how to diaper your baby book.
Comment: I truly feel this book was more valuable than anything I've read to date on how to raise my now 14-month old daughter. All parents should read this and very early on in their baby's life, if not during pregnancy. It's incredibly insightful. I was amazed at how well my experience with my daughter corresponded with the stages of development described. The first time she had a temper tantrum at 12 months I was shocked and had no instinct at all as to how to respond to her. This book really opened my eyes to what's going on and how to avoid letting that behavior turn into a bratty 3-year old screaming at me in the grocery store (isn't that what we all want?!). Worth every cent -- I wouldn't hesitate another moment deciding whether it's worth the purchase!

Summary: I am so glad I found this book!!!!
Comment: I have the nicest toddler I know, get compliments all the time on how reasonable and well behaved, confident and happy he seems to be, and I think that the advice in this book has been very important in achieving this so far.
This book only deals with children up until 3 years old, since that is the age range the author's research covered. The advice is based on years of in-home observation of many many families, watching babies develop through the first few years of life, so it isn't just the opinions of a pediatrician, or a parent, or an educator. The parenting practices he recommends are the ones that they saw work over and over in many different real families.
This book advises some very simple straightforward tactics, and advises you to stick to them over and over and over again, since a normal healthy child will test you over and over again to see if you will cave in, and how much power s/he has. You don't need a lot of options, you just need to stick to a few that work, and in my experience (with a willful kid, who was not a placid baby!), these work very well without making the child discouraged or inhibited in bad ways.
And, he didn't make me feel at all guilty, I wasn't bored by the writing, and I didn't find it hard to look things up - the book is organized by age stages, so you can just look at the chapter that covers the age your child currently is.
Another thing - his recommendations on toys and entertaining a baby are the best I've seen. He makes simple cheap toy recommendations, tells you what a baby really wants to be doing during each phase, and made it much easier for me to keep my son entertained!

Summary: Excellent Advice, Make Time to Read It!
Comment: I think any parent will benefit from the advice in this book. Dr. White's early childhood development techniques are practical and proven effective. If his claims are correct and the young children on his program are still, years later, better adjusted than their counterparts who weren't, this book should be mandatory reading for parents.
