This is a great book, nice print and easy to read. I was desperate to help my son who gets angry and frustrated quite alot. He is autistic and has speech and language problems and it was distressing to see him so angry. This book has helped alot.

This book is really not what it's cracked up to be. The title is completely misleading as it does not provide any solutions. I bought it when I read some of the reviews recommending it as a must have and I really would love to know what possessed people to think it was of any use. The author provides no definative advice and says things like 'if you think you can't do it just give up' (the problems here are that she does not provide you with anything to give up on as she tells you nothing....) and this is not what a parent in dire straits (hence buying her book in the first place) needs to here. Really I cannot put too fine a point on it...you really can live WITHOUT this book.

I completely recommend this guide for any first time mums - I'd never changed a nappy in my life until my 8 week old arrived and this book has provided constant, non-judgemental and reassuring advice without preaching about set routines that seem designed to make you feel worried and guilty! As the other reviews say the week by week format is very easy to read and digest and there's just enough information without being overwhelming. I've also recommended this guide to all new mothers and hope the authors are reading these reviews so that they know how much they are appreciated!

All relationships and the people involved in those relationships are different. Instead of following a set of 'rules' as this book sets out it is far better to learn to be yourself in any given situation. I would recommend Make every man want you by Marie Forleo. Marie throws all rules out of the window and encourages women to be a better and more authentic version of themselves which I think is far more attractive than trying to be something you are not.

Bought this today, but finished it quickly, as it's quite tiny. However, I thought it was lovely - some bits were funny or quaint, but to disagree with the other reviewer, I thought a lot of the advise was actually still very good and worth thinking about.
Maybe not one for the feminists, but not as old-fashioned as you might think either; much of the advise is basically about treating your wife with respect and thoughtfulness (which I must say, I'd prefer to being treated as another man any day!). I can't wait to get started on the one for wives now :)

I have long been amused by this book and am very glad to see it reprinted. I have my grandmother's original copy which she bought when she got married in 1914. When you think that she bought it as a serious guide to how women should behave in a marriage you realise that things really have got better since then. Robert

For years, those of us into attachment-style parenting have been saying exactly the same as the author; basically, something is rotten in the state of childhood.
And we've been saying the something is actually many things.
* Over-medicalisation of birth instead of birth at home or in a safe non-medical place
The New Experience of Childbirth
* Babies being fed powdered cows' milk from a bottle on a schedule and given a plastic dummy to meet their sucking needs, rather than nursed on cue by their mother for nourishment *and* comfort for as many months and years as the child and mother are both agreeable

Very, very happy with this book. Spent ages looking at all the different titles then took a chance by ordering this one. Made the right decision. Format is fresh, easy to glance through or read in more detail depending on how much time you have. Plenty of names to choose from, modern, traditional, trendy, a few foreign names but not too many. Ideal for naming baby without having to trawl through crazy names or a multitude of American names. Within ten minutes of reading this i'd found a few good names. Perfect.

Sue Martin's harrowing account of the physical and mental abuse and tortue at the hands of so-called carers has changed my perception of the charity under which she was placed. It is certainly one I'll never give to again. Not until they explain such treatment and what they intend to do to atone for their unspeakable inhuman behaviour towards children.
