The Triumphant Child - Win It!

A few weeks ago, I received a copy of the new book, The Triumphant Child, A Practical Guide to Raising Two, Three and Four Year Olds, edited by Olson Huff, MD FAAP and Nicole Rawson-Huff. It is a wonderful book for any parent. It offers real life stories and expert advice to guide moms and dads to parenting success.

This book was published by Sixty Second Parent, and they have a super website that offers tips and advice for parents from pregnancy through kindergarten. The site offers help from a panel of experts ranging from pediatricians and child development experts. There is also a forum where parents to help each other by sharing stories, asking questions, and providing insight from their real life experiences.

As a mom of three kids, ages 7, 4 and 22 months, I really enjoyed the practical advice in this book. There are plenty of no-nonsense solutions to the every day struggles moms and dads (and caretakers) face. Topics include: setting up daily routines, how to handle aggressive behavior, chores, getting kids to sleep in their own beds, what to do when your child says "no," giving up pacifiers, picky eating, sibling rivalry, how to handle fears, and what to do during transitions like moving, and separation or divorce. There are even tips on choosing appropriate electronic media, setting limits, and a a list of recommended reading and developmental toys.

I really liked that the book was an easy read packed full of useful information. I could pick it up and quickly reference a topic of interest or read a whole chapter (almost) before being summoned for more juice or some help at the potty. I really think this book would be a valuable asset for any parent or caregiver of young kids.

The book retails for $17.95, but I was fortunate enough to snag a free copy from twittermoms. I was asked to pass it on to a deserving parent and that's exactly what I'll do. If you'd like to have my copy of this book (in nearly new condition) just stop by sixtysecondparent and leave a comment here telling me what parenting topic you'd like to learn more about.
