I have read quite a few of these type of books and although they have all contributed to the way I am trying to raise my children this book has helped me the most. This is my first port of call when feeling stressed and out of control. I have now got rid of all the other books and just use The Pocket Parent - that's how good I think it is.
My children are now 5 and 3. The book has been really helpful to me for about the last year and a half - before then I wasn't able to implement the ideas and suggestions quite so easily which I think is because the kids were too young. It's easy to use, laid out in a clear concise way and although obviously 'american' in style easily translates to our British ways! As far as I am concerned ... Read More:

I won't go into the depths of Locke studies here. Suffice to say he was the first of the 'British Empiricists'; building on Descartes' ideas and beginning an epistemology that influenced Berkely, Hume and many others. The Essay is a (very) lengthy account of his ideas - in which he begins by denying the possibility of innate ideas and goes on to explain how we come by all our ideas, discussing on the way his influential ideas on personal identity and primary and secondary qualities.
If you want the best scholarly version, it's undoubtedly Nidditch's Clarendon Press one. This version doesn't offer so much in the way of notes; but it has a basic introduction, original spelling and IMPORTANT: is the cheapest unabridged version of the ... Read More:

My daughter bought this book at school, Henry Winkler was there talking to the children, he talked to every child, signed books and wrote a lovely comment in each book for every child! and the children, teachers and parents loved him for it, what a star! I remember when I was my daughters' age and used to watch Happy Days and think he was fantastic then, and having watched him today, interact with practically the whole school, Mr Winkler has gone up even higher in my estimation, the book is funny, witty and incisive, my children can hardly wait to read the rest of the series, my daughter has packed away judy blume and this generation has a new hero!

Informative, clear and inspiring. I followed the advice to read then re-read the book and I've progressed rapidly to the advanced workouts and am learning new tricks every week. Its enormous fun, time just flys by(I find it hard to put the rope down!),and at 49 years of age I'm feeling incredibly fit. It helps to watch the videos in conjunction with the book in order to fully understand some of the advanced jumps,(but not entirely essential). I highly recommend this book for those who are looking for a different and challenging work out that can be done almost anywhere. I hope to inspire others to give it a try.
PS. My new nickname is Skippy!!
