Review: Honestly, I skimmed this book past the first chapter. Some of the more amusing bits of advice are “Remember the television can be your friend. Wisely used, it can keep a child happy, well-behaved and out of difficulty for long periods. (pg. 29)” and “You will if at all possible enlist the services of a good babysitter for as much of the time as possible. (pg. 27).” While this does seem like advice that a helpful neighbor might give you or even techniques one would come up with on their own, it’s not really up to the standards of advice one hopes to find in published material. (Personal Rating: 4/10)
