Found our baby's name in this book!.......2007-09-11

This is a great book for the analytical choosy type. We went through every name in the book and actually found the name for our son. We wanted to make sure we picked a rare name, and this book is a BIG help in finding those rarely used names.

boring.......2007-09-09

too long. i have no idea what the point of this book was. i hated it so much i couldn't get through the first chapter.

addictive reading.......2007-09-08

Much more helpful than a simple catalog of names, this book also makes extremely interesting reading. Why are some names ragingly popular, and why does a name appeal to us? How has a name historically risen and fallen in popularity? I can't begin to count the number of hours before bed I've spent reading this book.

Naming a child is a lovely responsibility. I think this book helps more than any other in making a decision that respects the individuality of the child, as well as the indulgences of the parents.

Very helpful.......2007-08-21

I loved this book. I went through so many name books before I found this one. The categories are fun to read through. I did not know that my name and the one I was considering for my daughter were highly popular in the 70s. All my Aunts' names were the "happy" names of the 50s. This book has very few uncommon names. If you are looking for something ethnic, this might disappoint. It didn't even have "Jolene" but it's pretty easy to guess what the meaning of that is. Because I was looking for a more normal name (even Anica, which I loved, sounded too foreign for my girl) this book was refreshing. I found the perfect name that fit all the categories I liked: Heather.

Great book!.......2007-08-17

I love this book! The author does more than define the names listed. She categorizes them, she shows recent trends, lists similar names to suggest alternatives, and she gives her opinion of each name without insulting or talking down to the reader. It's a great book for soon-to-be parents or anyone that's interested in names. The only slight problem is the fact that the book has been out for about two years, so the trends shown may no longer be entirely accurate, but you'll still be able to get a general idea of the popularity (or lack thereof).

Book Description

“You speak for all of us who are tearing our hair out about the generation that separates us from our beloved grandchildren.” —Grandma Sally, Moorestown, New Jersey Being a grandmother, writes Bryna Nelson Paston, is not one of life's free choices. “You can pick your pet, your alma mater, and your spouse. You can decide when to have kids and how many, if you're careful. You can be a doctor, lawyer, mountain climber, or plumber. But when and where you become a grandma is your kids' decision.”

Becoming a grandma is like getting a subpoena. You don't expect it. You don't know how to respond. You know you must be mature and accept it. Being a grandma, though, is as close as many of us ever get to perfection. There is only one little problem—the generation in the middle. “Dealing with your child and his or her spouse while you become the most relevant person in your grandchild's life is tricky at best and downright impossible at worst.”

From that unique point of view, Paston has written a delightful book that explains the rules for grandmothers to assure they will be an important part of their grandchildren's lives. “We have a window of opportunity as grandparents,” she writes, “usually five years, or maybe more if you're lucky. So you have to make your move fast and decisively. Your kids and their spouses will intrude, interrupt, and interfere. But persevere. Circumvent them, do exactly what you want, and lie—with dignity, I might add. Whatever it takes. Promise anything, but get the kid.”

How to Be the Perfect Grandma is a humorous, anecdotal gift book for grandmothers, grandmothers-to-be, grandmother wannabes, anyone who has a grandmother—and, of course, grandfathers. FAMILY; GRANDPARENTS ILLUSTRATED 51/2” X 61/2”, 144 PAGES HARDCOVER

Finally - 'Nana' gets it!.......2007-05-18

This little book was very helpful with my frustrations and gave me a better understanding of where my place is. It made me laugh and gave me several ah-ha moments. I was extremely close to my own Mother-in-law, so I couldn't figure out why things were going as they were when my son had children. This is a must have for the Grandma on Daddy's side.

Perfect Mother's Day gift.......2004-05-04

It's the perfect gift for the daughter or daughter-in-law in your life. This amusing and realistic set of incidents illustrates the dynamics of extended family life from a grandmother's viewpoint. It will make the reader laugh and cry. It's more than a one-time read. It's the book you will look at over the years to always find a new insight into living with grandchildren and their parents. "Perfect grandmas" always buy this book for adult children and their spouses.

Great Gift for New Grandmom.......2004-04-13

I bought this book and fell down laughing, so I bought it for all my friends, new grandmas, experienced grandmas, even one grandma-to-be.The author has shared her anecdotes and they are hysterical. In the mix, are tips on grandmothering and advice on how to follow the rules laid down by our grandchildren's parents without losing our minds. If you like humor with an edge, you'll love this book.

I beg to differ...this book is not that funny.......2003-09-19

I bought this book, planning to give it to my mother-in-law, who is a grandmother-to-be (I'm 3 months pregnant). It had gotten positive reviews from others, and sounded cute and humorous. After reading it, however, I did not find it cute or humorous. It is basically a collection of one grandmother's anecdotes about two of her grandkids, along with quasi-generalized advice about being a grandmother. I understand that some of the book was meant to be written with a satirical tone, but advice such as, "never let anything bad happen to the kids on your watch...but as we all know bad things happen to good grandmothers...if it's just you and the child, lie," and "check with your grandchildren to make sure you are winning the grandma race [against the child's other grandma]...if...they say they like the other one better, buy them something they've been wanting..." just doesn't strike me as being very funny--more like irresponsible and mean-spirited. I suppose some readers will find this humorous, but this definitely is not my brand of humor.

Giggled out loud..................2003-08-20

while reading this book---I didn't put it down once I started...very short reading..only about an hour or two. I especially like the chapter about how being the Mom's Mom gives you automatic rights to the child! Since this is my first Grandchild, and it is my daughter giving bith, I'M IN!!! Loved it!! It is a perfect little book for a Grandma-to-be....I've already passed it along to a few friends.

I thought I would hate it! .......2007-07-26

I have 4 small kids and am a fairly recent convert. When I heard about the Popcak's radical anti-spanking stance I thought I would find their book mushy and liberal, so I borrowed it from a friend. But I liked it so much that I actually bought 2 copies, one for me and one for my sister (who is not even Catholic).

The Popcaks speak from experience, and they really showed me in this book that attachment parenting, and even a no-spank mentality, does NOT mean permissiveness. The way to reach your children is to form their consciences through love and example. Loving them and having expectations of them inspire them to obey from the heart. This ensures that what we really want for our kids -- for them to be happy, loving, productive adults -- is going to happen.

Some features of the book are "quizzes" that give you a more concrete sense of what they are talking about when they speak of having rapport with your child, etc. I think their suggestions for building a loving home are great, their discipline suggestions and explanations are very useful, and also their section that walks through each stage of childhood and describes parenting issues, suggestions, and what virtues the child should be learning at each stage.

When you are focused on behavior modification, you tend to look for mere outward compliance. The Popcak's way is a LOT more labor- intensive, a lot more parent-involved, and a lot more rewarding in the short and long term.

The hardest part about being a parent is being a good example. Learning to model charity and other Catholic virtues is much harder than simply requiring it of your kids. If you want an easy button approach to parenting, a way to keep your kids quiet so you can watch TV, or a magic wand to fast forward through the early years, this book is NOT for you.

The Popcaks have a live radio show weekdays as well. [...]

This Book is BOTH Theologically Sound AND Effective!.......2007-04-26

For Catholics (and other Christians, heck, for anybody!), psychotherapist and author Gregory Popcak provides here a great deal of sound theological, psychological and practical support for the attachment-style of parenting, not just in the "baby years" but all the way through! He has written a book for Catholic parents ("Parenting with Grace"), but also promotes on his radio show and blog secular authors whose work backs up with sound science the principles he embraces, including Margo Sunderland (The Science of Parenting), Dr. William Sears (of course) and Gordon Neufeld (Hold On to Your Kids).

Popcak is able to articulate a real theological basis for making parenting decisions AND has many extremely useful practical strategies for improving connection between parents and kids which enhance behavior. His work has the approval of his bishop, and is supported by many Catholic theologians, priests and lay experts.

Popcak has taken some flak in some Christian childrearing circles for being anti-spanking, but I support him. He has a better way. And if you think that YOU have a situation where you REALLY need to spank your kid, call Popcak up on his weekly radio program and ask him. I guarantee you he will have an effective AND loving answer. Call my bluff on this.

A recent study showed that children of religious parents behave better. I believe those who read and follow Greg Popcak's work here must be skewing that sample! Contrary to popular belief, not all religious parents use an authoritarian style of parenting to improve short-term behavior. In the case of this Catholic author, the love of Christ and our reflection of that love calls us as parents to demonstrate love radically through self-giving to our children. This doesn't mean permissive parenting, but radical love and being willing to inconvience ourselves to meet our children's needs, along with having the guts to set limits when we are "working for our children's good."

If there are Catholics, other Christians or seekers out there looking for gentle religion-based parenting that WILL improve behavior through love, I recommend Popcak's work.

This Author is Awesome.......2007-03-26

I really love Gregory Popcak's way of explaining every facet of life in the light of Christ and the Church. He is very doctrinally sound and is the best Catholic author/counselor around today. This book is so thorough and helpful. I put off reading it for so long because, of course, I would rather read novels than have to improve myself as a person and a parent, but when I finally got around to reading it, I wished that I hadn't put it off. I've gotten to the point with my children where I just didn't know what to do anymore and I needed some serious encouragement, from someone I could trust, and let me tell you, if you are a Catholic, you can trust Gregory Popcak in every way. He is the author of many other books on other subjects ie: marriage and teaching sexuality to your kids, so check them out if there is any part of your life that you are struggling with and need some Catholic answers.

Great help to Raise KIds.......2007-01-09

Practical, fluent and clear.

Great Book

A wonderful and important book.......2006-11-02

I loved this book!!

Popcak begins with a general overview of his approach to parenting, which is attachment-based. He does a good job of explaining why attachment parenting is the most evolved approach to parenting, b/c it corresponds to the Church's (as developed by JPII) emerging understanding of love as self-donative. He presents one chapter on "everyday" techniques of parenting which are positive, relationship focused techniques, then follows this with a chapter on techniques to use in emergency situations only -- included here are time-outs and the other "technique-y" approaches most of us are familiar with.

I found it refreshing that Popcak thinks there IS a place for traditional techniques like time-outs, natural consequences, etc. but emphasizes that these shouldn't be our daily techniques, and that without a strong child-parent attachment, any technique is of limited use. A child simply has no motivation to restore harmony to a relationship that is non-existent or which brings him mostly loneliness and pain.

The book then lays out separate chapters on each of the 5 stages of development: Infancy, toddlerhood, early school years, etc. I appreciated having this commentary on how to parent effectively at each stage, b/c each stage is so different in terms of challenges (and joys!) and what can be expected of the child.

I was looking for a nice Catholic parenting book, and a friend loaned me a few. I was alarmed that spanking was advocated in them. I purchased Popcak's book because I am a traditional and faithful Catholic, but also practice attachment parenting. I am relieved to have this resource for my parenting vocation.

Product Description

From trips to self-centered therapists, to mothers experimenting with Ritalin, to the harsh reality of school calls (no good can come from them), Shut Up About . . Your Perfect Kid! bravely ventures where other books haven't, featuring humorous, heartwarming stories from a wide range of parents of "imperfect" children. Narrated by two "imperfect" sisters and mothers of children with Asperger's syndrome and bipolar disorder, the book features a compilation of stories that demonstrate the sheer humor and absurdity of raising imperfect children in a perfection-preoccupied world. It will have virtually any parent laughing out loud and appreciating the gifts and beauty that every child has to offer (yes, even imperfect ones).

Review for perfect kid.......2007-07-26

As a child with learning disabilities, this book was of great interest to me. Although the writing style was mediocre and at times tacky (for example, quotes from teenagers excessively use the word "like" in an attempt to sound humorous, but instead they come across as simply annoying), in general the book was rather charming. The constant mocking of the attitudes of parents with "perfect" children is really what makes the book shine. It brings a comfort to a reader who has lived with or is raising a child who is living with learning disabilities or mental illnesses. I recommend this book not only to people who have learning disabled children but to parents of the so called "perfect" children who may be ignorantly hurting the feelings of the "imperfect" around them.

A must read for parents of a challenged child.......2007-05-25

This is no "make lemons into lemonade" book! These two sisters open their hearts and their homes to the world to share an exceptionally honest and insightful approach to raising children with challenges. You'll laugh, and you'll cry. This is also a great read for parents who DON'T have children with special needs - so they can have a better understanding of what it is like...and then maybe they'll "shut up about their perfect child!" Way to go sisters! I've never read a book that was so heartfelt, and raw, and truthful! And I commend both the writers for having the strength to keep their families intact regardless of the many hurdles they've needed to overcome, and what is most impressive is their ability to find the dark humor during very difficult circumstances. Buy your copy TODAY!!!!

This book is meant to entertain (or destress) parents that have a child with a learning disability. Nice to know that you're not alone and that others can laugh along with you.

I laughed, I cried, and then I laughed some more!.......2007-04-11

This book truly is the "best medicine for parents of imperfect kids" and lets face it, that means anyone whose a parent. Set up in short story fashion, the book is easy to read, and I find myself going back to it to recall various passages. Although the authors have clearly experienced the pain and anguish of the realization that their children will follow their own unique path, the beauty in the book is that they realize that it's okay and even a blessing. Cheers to the ladies who had the foresight and energy to share their touching and often amusing stories of their children.

Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover.......2007-04-10

Finally! A book that understands exactly how I feel on the days when I think there is no hope in sight and that I can laugh at some of the bumps in the road.

Great resource for nervous parents.......2007-09-17

This book has been great at calming my fears as the parent of a gifted child. It talks about expectations for your child as well as how to handle certain challenging situations both at home and at school. Definite must have.

VERY comprehensive! .......2007-07-05

This is by far the most comprehensive book about gifted children that I have seen. It covers a broad range of topics, yet still manages to be quite detailed and "meaty". An entire 19 page chapter is devoted to the characteristics of gifted children. In addition to the usual checklist, the chapter also looks at Dabrowski's overexcitabilities, the gifted child's sense of humor, imagination, etc. The authors embrace an open and flexible definition of giftedness, and offer alternatives to the "one test" model of selection.

A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children is a guidebook brimming full of practical suggestions on how to raise a gifted child. If you buy just one book on gifted children, this should be it. I recommend it to both veteran "gifted parents" and those with young children who are just starting to explore the world of giftedness. Whether your child is moderately, highly, or profoundly gifted, this book will have meaningful information and helpful suggestions for you.

Chapter five deals with establishing discipline and teaching self management, while chapter eight is all about acquaintances, friends, and peers. Chapter 11, complexities of successful parenting, features a list of six responsibilities for parents:

1.accept and appreciate the child's uniqueness
2.help the child like herself and relate well to others
3.help the child develop a relationship and sense of belonging within the family
4.nurture the development of values
5.teach the child self-motivation, self-management, and self discipline
6.help the child discover his passions, and commit to letting him explore

This chapter also contains sensible advice on how to avoid parental pitfalls such as enmeshment, adultizing the gifted child, or over empowering the gifted child. Parents are encouraged to care for themselves and be sure that they are modeling healthy attitudes and behaviors.

If the inquisitive reader wants to explore further, the back of the book is filled with an impressive number of endnotes and references to published studies and other works pertaining to child development and giftedness. The authors, Webb, Gore, Amend, and DeVries, are all well respected members of the gifted education community. They have many years of combined experience as teachers, counselors, and parents of gifted children. Their collective wisdom shared here is a real treasure.

Handy and practical.......2007-05-22

There is so much helpful information in this book that it is almost overwhelming to sit down and read the entire thing--because I wanted to retain every bit of it. Thankfully, I have it handy so I can flip to the pages I most need at any given moment. Each topic, from communication and relationships to educational needs, is covered in a manner that provides depth and practical information. This book will be a much-appreciated parenting companion for anyone, but especially for those parents with gifted or twice exceptional children.

Read A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children FIRST!.......2007-05-09

I've said good things about books in the past, and I stand by all my reviews. But if I could rate one book with 6 stars (out of 5) this would be the one. A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children is THE book that all parents of gifted children should read first. And I mean ALL parents, from parents of moderately gifted kids, to parents of exceptionally / profoundly gifted kids, and twice exceptional gifted kids, too.

A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children begins with the basics: terms and definitions, and characteristics of giftedness, from those typical characteristics we all know, to the gifted child's unique Overexcitabilities and potential strengths disguised as weaknesses. Next, Webb and friends discuss communication, an important factor both in parenting and educating the gifted child. Their great ideas are good not only for parents communicating with gifted kids, but also for parents communicating with educators, and parents teaching their gifted kids how to communicate effectively. Even gifted kids need to learn the strength of communication!

Motivation and underachievement are complex with gifted children. Webb et. Al. offer valuable insights into the causes and differences between the two. They move next to establishing discipline and teaching self-management - these are two things we often assume our gifted children can do for themselves, but like any other child, they need our guidance and support. As parents, we need to remember that no matter how smart they our, our gifted children are still children, and we are the adults, with adult experience and wisdom. And Webb and friends give us respectful ways to accomplish this.

Continuing with chapters on intensity and perfectionism, idealism and depression, and acquaintances, friends and peers, A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children moves into a challenging subject: twice exceptional children. If after reading this chapter, you need more information on these amazing and frustrating gifted kids, read an entire book on the subject: Misdiagnosis And Dual Diagnoses Of Gifted Children And Adults: ADHD, Bipolar, OCD, Asperger's, Depression, And Other Disorders.

A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children concludes with valuable information on the gifted child in school, including gifted identification and educational 'fit' for the gifted child. This educational 'fit' is what parents of the gifted child are searching for, and Webb offers great ideas on how to find it. And if you need help, A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children offers suggestions for seeking good professional help - not all professionals are created equal.

All in all, A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children is the single book you need to get started as the parent of a gifted child. Every parent should read this book!

A positive review from the Davidson Institute for Talent Development.......2007-04-25

A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children is an extraordinary enhancement of the well-known book, Guiding the Gifted Child. By pooling their expertise on gifted children, this powerful group of authors bring back to life this old classic by expounding on the practical suggestions and information many parents, and even educators, have found useful for so many years. Dr. James Webb is a clinical psychologist and co-founder of Supporting Emotional Needs of the Gifted (SENG); Janet Gore, over the past 30 years, has gained experience working with gifted students as a teacher, guidance counselor, school administrator, policy maker, and parent; Dr. Edward Amend is a clinical psychologist who focuses on the social, emotional, educational needs, and twice exceptional issues of gifted children and their families; and Arlene DeVries is an experience counselor with a special interest in the social and emotional needs of gifted students and has facilitated more than 70 SENG Gifted Parent Groups over the past 20 years.

Parenting any child is a challenging profession, much less parenting a child who is gifted. While it can be filled with joy, laughter, and excitement, it can also be frustrating, draining, and filled with uncertainty. To help put parents at ease, the authors of A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children offer insightful ideas and techniques that can be incorporated into the household's day-to-day living. For example, some of the ideas they discuss include catching the child doing something right, focusing on effort versus outcome, reflective listening, special time, assessing emotional temperature, avoiding power struggles, natural consequences, freedom within limits, praising the behavior not the child, the importance of being a good listener for your child, avoiding over scheduling, bibliotherapy, and describing siblings rather than comparing them.

In fifteen chapters, Webb, Gore, Amend, and DeVries share their knowledge gained from several decades of personal and professional experience working in the gifted field, while also including pertinent research on gifted children and suggestions parents of gifted children have found useful. They thoroughly cover the following topics that any parent would find of interest at some point along the parenting journey:

1. Defining Giftedness
2. Characteristics of Gifted Children
3. Communication: The Key to Relationships
4. Motivation, Enthusiasm, and Underachievement
5. Establishing Discipline and Teaching Self-Management
6. Intensity, Perfectionism, and Stress
7. Idealism, Unhappiness, and Depression
8. Acquaintances, Friends, and Peers
9. Family Relationships: Siblings and Only Children
10. Values, Traditions, and Uniqueness
11. Complexities of Successful Parenting
12. Children Who Are Twice-Exceptional
13. How Schools Identify Gifted Children
14. Finding a Good Educational Fit
15. Finding Professional Help

Three chapters are newly introduced in A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children that were not previously included in Guiding the Gifted Child: Children Who Are Twice Exceptional, Finding a Good Educational Fit, and Finding Professional Help. In raising a gifted child, sometimes parents are faced with tough questions, such as: Does my gifted child have a learning disability? What should we look for in a school? What school options are available for my child? When and how should a professional's help be sought out? When should medication be considered vs. counseling, or both? These additional chapters walk parents through making these decisions and offer the much sought-after opinions of professionals familiar with this population and their needs.

For those wanting to continue their learning, the authors include an extensive list of resources and recommended readings that would add quality to any library.

A Parent's Guide to Gifted Children is an essential resource for all families of gifted children. As stated in the book's Introduction on page xxi, "the emotional health of a child cannot be understood without considering the family. And the family cannot function well without understanding the emotional needs of the gifted child."

The old adage is especially true for Perfect Madness: don't judge this eminently readable book by its stern and academic-looking cover. Judith Warner's missive on the "Mommy Mystique" can be read in a weekend, if readers have the time. Of course--according to the book--many would-be readers will have to carve out the hours in between an endless sea of child-enriching activities, a soul-sucking swirl that leads many mothers into a well of despair. Warner's book seeks to answer the question, "Why are today's young mothers so stressed out?" Whether shuttling kids to "enriching" after-school activities or worrying about the quality of available child care, the women of Perfect Madness describe a life far out of balance. Warner spends most of the book explaining how things got to this point, and what can be done to restore some sanity to the parenting process.

Warner draws her research from a group of 20- to 40-year-old, upper-middle-class, college-educated women living in the East Coast corridor. In other words, mirror images of Warner herself. Her limited scope has caused controversy and criticism, as have some of her more sweeping statements. (For example, Warner blames second-wave feminism--rather than corporate culture--for the many limitations women still experience as they try to balance the work-family dynamic.) Other favorite targets include the mainstream media, detached fathers, and controlling, "hyperactive" mothers who create impossible standards for themselves, their children, and the community of other parents around them. Warner begins and ends the book with a compelling argument for the need for more societal support of mothers--quality-of-life government "entitlements" such as those found in France. It's these big-picture issues that will provide the solution, she says, even if most mothers don't want to discuss them because they consider the topic "tacky, strident-sounding, not the point." In these sections on governmental policy, and also when she steps back, encouraging women to be kinder to each other, the author's warmth comes across easily on the page. Pilloried by some readers and supported by others, Warner should at least be applauded for opening up the Pandora's Box of American motherhood for a new generation. And if readers are of two minds about the issues raised Perfect Madness, as Warner sometimes seems to be herself, it's a fitting reaction to a topic with few easy answers. --Jennifer Buckendorff END

Book Description

The paradigm-shattering bestseller that investigates how women have fallen into the trap of "total motherhood," and how that mind-set damages them and their relationships with their husbands and children.

Perfectly written.......2007-10-09

I'm one of those mothers who doesn't have time for anything beyond the essentials and living with the multiple varieties of stress Warner discusses, both self-imposed, culturally imposed and politically imposed. So I don't have time to give a proper review, of course. But I wanted to say how much I enjoyed the book and how much it helped me at least understand, if not overcome, the central issues facing me as a mother in the full-time workforce in a society that does not support parents and families to achieve a healthy balance between work and parenting. Thank you for writing this book, and please continue to discuss these issues and promote alternative visions for society.

The personal is not always the political.......2007-07-15

Perfect Madness is the very apt description of a style of parenting that currently prevails among the educated and economically privileged classes of American society. Many readers will experience a chilling recognition on reading Judith Warner's descriptions of the vagaries of this sinister family ideology and the quality of desperation in the perfectionism and competitiveness that frantically drive the machine of many family lives.

Perfect Madness is an ambitious and well-intentioned book, but it is undermined by a restrictive thesis and swamped by often irrelevant research and statistics. The book is further robbed of authority by a writing style that vacillates between the vernacular and the scholarly, and by the constant jumping back and forth through the chronology of its own research.

The logistical problems of inadequate child-care and workplace family support that the author blames squarely on a self-serving government and on a cold and uncaring social infrastructure are not, as the book would imply, key factors underlying a lack of personal fulfillment in the middle-class experience of parenting. The modern claim of unmet entitlement is no less than the hallmark of a western-world existential crisis, the refrain of a culture of greed that neglects its own mind-life while continuing to abdicate personal responsibility and answerability for its own choices, relinquishing free will to the dictates of government and wallowing in the passivity of a pitiful absence of self-determinism.

The author claims that this is a "very personal" book. In this case the personal is less political than self-indulgent. The author presents a lengthy and meandering narrative of the journey of modern middle-class woman through the landscape of an inhospitable patriarchal society, the perversities of careless mothering, and into the barren and hopeless terrain of mother-as-victim. The author regrettably pays little tribute to the generations of wise and loving women along the way who created our current wealth of privilege and opportunity: women who made informed choices and brave decisions, and who created joyful lives for themselves and their children without effacing their own psyche. Thanks to these benefactors women can indeed aspire to have it all. However, only the naïve or the very greedy would expect to have it all at one sitting.

Solid Discussion.......2007-05-27

Judith Warner's "Perfect Madness: Motherhood in the Age of Anxiety" is an excellent discussion on today's motherhood. Refreshingly candid, Warner takes apart all sides of the motherhood debate using examples from the 1950s to today and presents them in no-nonsense fashion. She explains, "[w]hat I see is that working and stay-at-home moms do what they do not so much by choice--by choosing from a series of options arrayed before them like cereals on a supermarket shelf--but out of a very immediate and pressing sense of personal necessity. There are many aspects to that sense of necessity--money, status, ambition, the needs of the children and of the family as a whole--all of which play themselves out, in various way, in individual women's lives. And all of those aspects of personal necessity are part and parcel of the condition of motherhood--not external to it, not accessory to it, not a `selfish' deviation from it" (pp 145-6). This is the gist of the entire book. All of the discussion grows from and points back to this concept. And the concept? We're turning ourselves inside out and upside down trying to be the ultimate "mother"--having it all, trying to be perfect in a balancing act that has been unachievable from the start. Straightforward, unbiased, and balanced, "Perfect Madness" is very well researched from where I sit. Towards the end, it felt like Warner veered off subject a little. While some of the information she discusses can be considered interesting--economics, housing, body-image and eating disorders--especially in how they relate to our view of modern motherhood and its requirements to be "done correctly," this is background information for explaining what she terms the "Perfect Madness." Warner does eventually make it work, integrating this information back into the original subject matter and making the book come together as a whole.

Motherhood requires and deserves compensation.......2007-03-10

Ms. Warner perfectly articulates the symptoms of the "dis-ease" running rampant in American motherhood. It was reassuring to learn that other women were experiencing the same distress, exhaustion and sense of betrayal that I felt.

Ms. Warner points to the "valorizing" of motherhood as a way to deflect attention away from the underlying problem. I totally agree. This is an insidious psychological weapon used by both women and men to keep mothers pacified in the short-term. But a rose on Mothers Day and a pat on the back do not pay the bills. Women do themselves and their children a disservice by labeling their childbearing and childrearing tasks as "priceless." This work is noble, extremely valuable in monetary terms, and without it society would stop functioning altogether.

The bottom-line problem is that mothers are not compensated for their work. What male would choose a career that required 24/7 work with no paycheck, hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses, and no benefits or retirement? Not one.

Our market economy was designed by males, and it serves males' natural talents and abilities. Female labor was placed outside the system, labeled "priceless," and given a zero monetary value. This left mothers with nothing to bargain with in the marketplace, and dependent upon male partners in order to survive.

Since mothers no longer have tribes to support them, the logical and only answer is that government must subsidize their work via corporate taxation. The corporations that benefit from new generations of customers and workers must help foot the bill to create and raise these new humans.

Sans this scenario, mothers will remain degraded and financially used by society. The anger, resentment and "dis-ease" of motherhood will continue.

Mothers, wake up. There is nothing noble about teaching your daughters that their natural talents are "above monetary value." They deserve reverence AND compensation.

Quite enjoyable.......2006-07-31

I was surprised that I liked this book. I was not expecting to as it came up paired with "The Mommy Myth" on Amazon. However, this book was much better than The Mommy Myth, which I personally thought was terrible.

This book describes the pressure that today's mothers feel with parenting. Working or staying at home, all moms feel similar pressures to be perfect and produce perfect children. If our children do anything bad, we think it must be a reflection of some bad parenting choice we made. In a sense, our children are extensions of ourselves, not their own beings.

It should be clear in the reviews that this book is aimed at middle-upper middle class-wealthy mothers. The author comes out and says that at the beginning of the book.

I think this book does a good job of summing up parenting today. However, there were a few things I did not like about the book, which is why I docked it one star:

1. The author talks about breastfeeding as if it is some nice "extra" like an extravagant birthday party or the latest, cool toy that everyone wants. I think breastfeeding clealy belongs in a different category, especially with it's many benefits proved more and more definitively by science each year. However, there is absolutely no advantage you are giving your child by spending $1,000 on a birthday party when he is 2 (and won't even remember it most likely). I thought this author had some personal vendetta against breastfeeding. Mothers get plenty of pressure to bottle feed with all the "free gifts" they hand out at the clinics and hospitals. If anything, it is pressure from both the breast and bottle camps. However, this author says nothing about mothers annoyed that doctors assume they will fail at nursing their babies and encourage them to take the free formula (just in case).

2. The author talks about how parents are doing way too much for their children. However, she does not discriminate when this behavior is appropraite and when it is not. With a baby or toddler up to age 2, the child's needs should come first and be met quickly. Doing this will leave you with an easier to care for child later. However, after about that age, parents need to make sure the kids know that the parent is in charge and children need to be expected to entertain themseves and do as much for themselves as is age appropriate.

3. Yes, parents today have many pressures but the author does not talk enough about how much of this monster parents have created themselves. We expect so much now, the houses we want, the cars we want, etc. People a few generations ago were satisfied with much less. Just because the neighbors have it, does not mean we have to want it. We can say no. We need to do that more often. Don't blame the "keeping up with the Joneses" train of thought. Kids don't need tons of extracurriculars at age 4, they don't even need elaborate swingsets in the backyard when they can walk to the park. They do not need fancy birthday parties or academic lessons before they start school. They may not even need preschool-espcecially if they have neighborhood friends or siblings. All the really need is some free time and you to go away so they can make up their own rules and play however they want, get lost in the fun of playing.

If you feel that you are caught in the whirlwind of outrageous (and silly) parenting pressures today, I'd recommend reading John Rosemond's: A Family of Value. It is great for working or stay at home parents. You will feel much better after you read it and give yourself permission to not run yourself ragged. Today's moms have got to be the generation of moms who do the most hoop jumping for their children. Today's moms listen to this and that person with a PhD telling them what a "good mother" does. They compare themselves to the "ideal mother", see they are not as good (most of the ways we are told to behave is not humanly possible 100% of the time), see they don't measure, and then feel terrible about themselves. Moms have to stop beating themselves up and thinking their children are scarred for life because they got yelled at once, or because mom told them she is busy right now and can't play with them. Mom has a life too. As for the children, I'd also recommend looking into one of the many groups starting around the country that are encouarging parents to help children reclaim free time.

All in all, a good book that talks about the pressures facing parents today.

Best Parenting Book on the Market.......2004-04-14

Forget all those smarmy books full of buzz words and advice that will never work on real kids. Miss Manners knows what it really takes to raise polite kids. She also is so funny that you will literally laugh out loud while you read through this book. You'll read it straight through like a novel and you'll be so glad to have it on hand to answer questions that pop up. A fantastic baby shower gift!

Everything my Parents and Grandparents practiced on ME!.......1998-01-30

"Judith" as she is called so often (and improperly!) writes with such a playful tone that even my 12 year old wants to read her insights on Rearing Perfect Children. (She likes finding out just WHY I make her do certain things!) I grew up without such a book, but I assure you, each and every "rule" that Judith posits, is RIGHT ON POINT. My older cousin and I recently marvelled at how lovely our lives have been BECAUSE those same Rules were inculcated into us,time and time again, all of our lives. Neither of us has EVER had an awkward social moment, and yes, we each know how to be presented to Royalty, AND which knife is the fish knife and which is the oyster fork! (knowing the Rules early on makes life such a breeze-one never has to THINK about them--one is on auto-pilot from age 14 or so!

Did you ever wish your children were presentable in public? Did you ever wish they were tolerable at home? Then this book is for you! And if your children are already presentable and tolerable, you'll die laughing at Miss Manners' wit and wisdom. You'll reread this book every year and enjoy it every time. Before you know it, you'll be enjoying an outing to the mall with all your kids in tow.

Book Description

The relationship between a mother and daughter is often fraught-but never so much as during the preparations for a daughter's wedding. Who better to offer a fresh perspective on weddings than the mother of the bride? And who better to describe it -- the agony and the ecstasy -- than Ilene "Gingy" Beckerman, who's married off three daughters and remembers it all very clearly.

--The high cost of wedding cakes: "I could have had a lifetime supply of Entenmann's chocolate doughnuts!"

--Bridesmaid dresses: "What do five girls-one short, one tall, one buxom, one flat, one who gave birth a month ago-have in common? A bridesmaid's dress they hate."

--Mother-of-the-bride dresses: "I tried on green velvet. A Rodney Dangerfield line came to me: 'If that dress had pockets, you'd look like a pool table.' The dress had pockets."

--And, finally, the sight of her daughter walking down the aisle: "My daughter was Cinderella, Snow White, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, and Jacqueline Kennedy. But better."

Gingy looks at the bride-to-be and sees the teenager who wanted Bo Derek braids, the little girl she taught to dance to the tune of "Me and My Shadow," the beautiful baby, the miracle she gave birth to decades earlier. And now, en route to the aisle, their relationship is tested in ways Gingy never imagined.

Beckerman simply and brilliantly describes the highs and lows of life with an adult daughter. What emerges is a poignant and telling story.

humor for mother of the bride.......2007-07-23

I got this book for my mom. The title caught my eye because she had a horrible time finding a dress for my brother's wedding and now she has to look once again for my wedding! She loved it and found it very humorous, basically read it in one night. The only thing I wished is that it would have had a checklist or something like that for the mother of the bride. Overall, great book!

Mother of the Bride: The Dream, the Reality, the Search for a Perfect Dress.......2007-07-05

What a great book to give the 1st time mother of the bride at the bridal shower. It puts things in perspective! I recommend they read it a couple of days before the wedding.

Survival guide for M.O.B!!.......2005-05-20

This book was great. It is written with humor and insight, and I probably would not have appreciated it before this adventure we call "being the M.O.B". It is definately worth every penny.

You'll laugh, you'll cry -- you know the drill =).......2003-06-18

This is basically an autobiographical comic short story, with wacky illustrations to add to the fun. I bought it as a Mother's Day present for my mom right after I got engaged, and we read it aloud together in our favorite spot on the front porch, passing the book when one of us was overcome with laughter -- or tears. Ilene Beckerman can really write, and she does it with devastating humor and tear-jerking poignancy as she explores -- from the front row view of the mother of the bride -- the fun, the fights, the work, the tears, the trials, and often the complete insanity that all contribute to the creation of a beautiful wedding. At the same time, she critically (and beautifully) examines the complex relationship between a mother and her daughter. This short little gem will help you remember the things you appreciate most about your mother, your daughter...or both.

A Great Gift.......2000-10-12

When my daughter became engaged, I got three copies of this book as gifts. I loved it so much that I have given away the two extra copies that I received to friends who will soon be MOBs!

The book is so real, so funny, so poignant. It succinctly summed up the relationship between mothers and daughters as it detailed the intricate and involved planning process for today's weddings. I loved the way Beckerman gave us glimpses of her daughter's growing-up years.

I felt every feeling the author was feeling --- I laughed, I cried, and I called my daughter to read portions to her.

Book Description

This is more than your average baby name book: unlike the dozens of mass-market paperbacks available, Town & Country Baby Names has the style and elegance to make an exquisite gift. Stunningly designed and produced, with charming line drawings throughout, it’s a lovely and useful resource at an excellent price. The introduction provides guidelines to consider when naming a baby, from researching the family tree for names to knowing the pitfalls of choosing a unisex or trendy name. Each entry includes the name’s origin and meaning (Claire comes from Latin, and means “clear and bright”; Stephen, from the Greek, means “crown”), and special features suggest possibilities such as Favorite Names from the Garden and Beloved Names from Children’s Literature.

Ordinary Baby Name Book.......2007-05-13

This book is definitely for the "Sarah and David" set. We were looking for something with a little more "panache" for our daughter and found the names in this book to be the requisite classics that you would expect from a book compiled by the publishers of "Town & Country" magazine. I will say that it was organized very well into specific sections, but I do recommend that if you are looking for a more original children's name, that you look at the "Beyond Jennifer & Jason, Madison & Montana" book.
