Parenting Power in the Early Years: Raising Your Child with Confidence - Birth to Five
by Brenda Nixon
Winepress Publishing, 2001
96 pages
 
 
Wouldn't it be nice if you had a special friend who could walk beside you through the first few years of parenthood--someone to translate a baby's frantic cries, soothe the pang of separation, or entertain a testy toddler while you settled into a nice hot tub for a much-needed break?
 
Professional speaker and writer Brenda Nixon understands the boundless energy required of parents. She has studied early childhood development at length, and holds a Master's degree in Religious Education. But the selling point of her parenting book lies in the fact that she is a compassionate parent in the trenches--like you! She knows the mix of emotions that a parent-to-be experiences daily. She understands the changes that take place in a household, once a baby arrives. And she realizes firsthand that it takes patience, compassion, firmness, and confidence to parent successfully.
 
This book evolved from articles and columns she has written. Parents at many of her speaking engagements prodded her to transform her favorites into a book, to be enjoyed by parents everywhere. Brenda believes that confidence comes from knowledge and experience--and Parenting Power in the Early Years speaks to situations every parent will face, sooner or later. It also assures Mom and Dad that they will, indeed, survive!
 
Divided into three convenient sections (Embrace the First Year...Survive the Toddler Years...and Maneuver the Preschool Years), its titles reflect a wide range of topics:
 
Brenda Nixon speaks with the voice of reason, without speaking psychobabble. Parenting Power is worth a spot on your nightstand. (Better keep a close eye on it, though; the colorful color may appeal to your prowling toddler.)
