Just real solutions.

Because kids don't come with an instruction manual...

Being a parent is never easy. And in today's complicated, hustle and bustle world, it can seem next to impossible. The Parenting Survival Kit doesn't offer theories -- it provides real solutions to most common parenting issues, problems and concerns -- including:
-- How can I tell if my child is active, overactive, or hyperactive?
-- Should I place my infant in child care now or wait until later?
-- What is the ideal approach for toilet training?
-- Is my child spending too much time in front of a computer and not enough time playing with friends?
-- How can I alleviate my child's stress about my divorce -- and my own stress at the same time?
-- How do I confront my teenager about drug and alcohol abuse?
-- Is there a limit to the amount of privacy I should permit my kids?

This invaluable reference is perfect for handling your kids -- and yourselves -- with care.
