review 1: I'm not a parent, so it feels a little wrong reviewing a parenting book. Especially when discussing parenting philosophies are akin to discussing religion or politics. Seems like a big no-no to talk about it, and everyone's defenses rise immediately. But, this book seems to go back to good parenting common sense. Your child is not and should not be the center of your world. There are 100 keys broken down into 10 chapters over a main topic. Pregnancy, babies, sleeping, eating, waiting/patience, conflicts, "free to be you and moi", balance, couple time, and saying Non. I work in a school, so these all made sense to me, but are not what mainstream American families practice. Of course, this may change if I have kids, but for now they seem like good guidelines to strive... more for.
review 2: This book is a great overview of the parenting style outlined in Brining up Bebe and is perfect for refreshing your memory. I enjoyed reading this book because it discusses a lot of parenting principles I would like to remember for when my little one arrives. I also apprecitaed the author's inherent understanding that each parenting philosophy (even her own) is not perfect and can be changed to fit each child and parent. less
