 Too little information December 1, 2007
I just received this book and find it way too brief. Yes I like succinct, easy reads, but I also like information. I find that no subject is covered in enough detail. I bought it hoping for help with beginning to teach my one year old early lessons, but it has not helped me.
Winning Wealth of Parenting Tips February 26, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Brenda Nixon's well written parenting book is a real help to parents in quandary. If you are a new parent, rearing a toddler or preschool age child, want practical childcare tips, like short reads, feel inadequate about rearing a youngster today, want answers that help resolve problems, and.....if you are committed to learn to be a good parent then this book is for you.
The delightful chapters are written in short, succinct bits of information. Besides the wealth of parenting guidance in chapters, Brenda offers an age appropriate gift giving guide, charted stages of development and a resource index for specific need-to-know issues such as thumb sucking, tantrums, toilet training, and eating.
After reading it, I recognized being in the presence of a wise and caring woman, who longs to aid parents and children.
You can succeed at parenting with this "winning wealth" of information. Returns will be greater than money in the bank. A great gift for new parents.

Brenda Nixon draws on her experiences as an educator and mom to provide parents with helpful advice on a variety of topics. As a busy mother of a toddler and an eight year-old, I want answers but don't have the time to search everywhere for them. Parenting Power in the Early Years gave me thoughtful advice on many of the situations that concern me, and I appreciated the fact that it was an easy read. It was personal, practical, and powerful.

I wish I'd had this 95 page book when my kids were in the early years. Instead I had several thick books full of clinical studies and terms that boggled my already deteriorating confidence as a parent.
Brenda's friendly "been there done that" tone allows the reader to laugh with her (I Shudda Listened)and at themselves in their desire to be the perfect parent.
She's got all the stuff you need to know in these few easy to read pages. And if you still want more on a specific topic, she includes five pages of Parent Resources.

Nothing is more daunting than to bring home the first baby and have no point of reference for what lies ahead. Nixon's book is a handy little tool with user-friendly pointers for all parents with little ones. What a great gift for the new parent or the one at wit's end with a toddler! Quick and easy to read and a wealth of information.
