Raising Twins: From Pregnancy to Preschool
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9781581103441; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-18 Summary: Twins advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics ... Raising Twins has been a very helpful book for our family. It is practical, down-to-earth, and filled with trusted advice from the American Academy of Pediatrics. I found it fun and easy to read, and liked how it tackles twins' different ages and stages in chronological order so you can quickly find what you're looking for. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-28 Summary: Practical, specific advice to happily raise twins ... It can be scary to find out you're pregnant with twins- read this book, and you'll know what to do. Dr. Flais gives encouraging advice on how to handle two babies without losing your mind! I also like that she has kids in addition to her twins, and gives tips about family balance. Many twins are born early so the appendix about preterm birth is especially informative. I'm going to tell the triplet moms in my multiples club about the triplet appendix, too. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-15 Summary: Best of the Twins Books I've Bought ... I'm a mom of 2 1/2-year-old twin boys, and I own five different books about raising twins. Flais' book is the best one by far because it's more honest than the others. She is very adamant that synchronizing your twins' skeds is key -- when one wakes up to eat, you wake the other one up. Period. I totally agree. Feeding them back-to-back will make you insane. Also, it is refreshing to read from a doctor that pacificers are not a good idea. I never used them -- just one more habit to break. She also reminds you that ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-13 Summary: Practical and balanced ... As a pediatrician taking care of many families with multiples, I find that Dr. Flais' book is a practical and east-to-read guide which answers many basic care issues that parents face. She strikes a nice balance with her advice, recognizing that not all families function identically, and that there is not only one specific solution to all problems (which is a characteristic of parenting books that should be sought after in general). She also acknowledges that not every individual situation that parents encounter will ...more
Editorial Reviews — ...

From how to set up the nursery, synchronize feeding and sleeping schedules, and potty train two children at once to discipline, family dynamics, and fostering individuality, this doctor-cum-mom shares her experiences of what works and what doesn’t and encourages parents to...more
Preschool Basics
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-12-23 Summary: Great for a 3 year old not in "school" ... My 3 1/2 year old daughter really likes this book, and does well. I am not happy with the directions on each page, and usually "read" her my own version, but otherwise we like it. She is eager to turn the page and find out what comes next, and these lessons are right on target with her learning capacity/stage. The first few pages are "which is bigger, which match" etc, and this has helped us to identify that our daughter needs work with spatial differences. It has also helped to develop her lines to become straighter ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-09 Summary: Great workbook ... My son LOVED this workbook and would beg to work on it. It has nice colorful illustrations and a wide variety of activities. I do think that the age range should be lowered to 3-4 on this book. My Three year old did well with this book's content. ...more
Teaching Montessori in the Home: Pre-School Years: The Pre-School Years

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-08 Summary: A must own ... I am fortunate enough to be able to be a stay at home with my children because I want my kids to stay at home as long as possible (while they are young) so they can fully appreciate the family dynamic. Because I stay at home, my family and I are living off a single income and cannot afford to put our children in the Montessori program. I am still interested in the Montessori philosophy, and wanted to try to incorporate it here at home. I checked this book out from the library just to see how applicable it would be, ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-05-14 Summary: Teaching Montessori in the Home ... Excellent book. I used it for my three sons and now wanted a new copy for my grandchildren. I highly recommend it. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-03-25 Summary: Teaching Montessori in the Home: The preschool years ... This is a wonderful book full of info on how to teach your child using the Montessori Method in your own home. There are directions for making most of the maerials yourself, others can be purchased inexpensively. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Montessori education. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-03-04 Summary: Excellent Resource ... I became interested in this method of schooling the first time I ever read about it. I had yanked my four year old son from his preschool program because he had gone from a normal happy preschooler to a biting, kicking, swearing little monster. He also has a speech delay, which did not help matters at all because we could not understand what he was talking about when he tried to tell us what was happening during his day. His father and I decided to homeschool him until he's six, upon which time we will enroll him with ...more
On Becoming Preschool Wise: Optimizing Educational Outcomes What Preschoolers Need to Learn (On Becoming. . .)
Feature: ... ISBN13: 9780971453289; Condition: NEW; Notes: Brand New from Publisher. No Remainder Mark. ...more
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-15 Summary: The second best to the series ... I'm a wise series follower and in my opinion, this is the second best of the series (after Babywise I). This book gives you details on how a preschooler thinks. I love the introduction of the concept of "conscience". I like how there are sample schedules and the suggested learning activities. It is very resourceful and to the point. You're pretty much building upon the same concepts introduced earlier. I have a well adjusted daughter because of the wise series and love the Ezzo principles of life. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-27 Summary: Book that Helps Parents Take Control of Preschoolers Education ... Always a fan of the "On Becoming..." series, I had to get the preschool book as my oldest daughter moves into this phase of her life. I have found it to be very helpful as I make decisions for the next few years of her life. The authors of this book help to pinpoint some of the reasons why preschoolers behave the way they do, one in particular being that children this age are often given too many choices to make. When it comes time for them to do something they do not want to do, they have difficulty obeying because ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-05-14 Summary: Wonderful parenting methods! ... The Ezzo parenting style is wonderful! It helps plan a child's path with love and understanding as well as with disciplne and enforcement - something that is so rare anymore, but essential and vital to raising responsible children! ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2006-11-05 Summary: Great Series!! ... The On Becoming Baby Wise series is fantastic. I would recommend them to parents and parents to be. They helped tremendously with our toddler's sleeping habits. We have been following the parent directed feeding method with our newborn and I can see the benefits in just her first four months of life. I want to buy these books for everyone I know who is a parent. I can't thank my neighbors who bought these books for us enough. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-02-16 Summary: Wonderful Workbook with Stickers ... My 3 1/2 year old likes this series of books because they have stickers to go along with the pages. My daughter loves stickers. She also likes to color the pictures. I think that this book offers a good start to writing skills. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2000-09-28 Summary: IT'S SO GOOD THIS IS OUR 4TH COPY ... Great way to help a preschooler tighten his eye-hand coordination. The activities start with bigger motor skills and as they get to the end of the book the skills become more difficult. My son loved the activities and asked to do them. Not boring at all. ...more
