Everyone has seen or heard of the Supernanny show. I did not realize that this book was geared toward toddlers. Recommended for children 4 and under. Good adviced. Has a magazine-like layout (lots of nice graphic pictures and tidbits of info).

I'm sure this book is wonderful for those with small children. My children are older, though, and it's not much help with school-age kids, it's definitely geared more towards those with toddlers ages 1-4 or so.

I love the Supernanny show, and was eager to read this book. It's a lovely book with lots of colorful pictures--almost a coffee table book. However, most of the material covered came straight from the show, so there weren't alot of new techniques. We are potty training right now, so I did pay close attention to that section. I still love Jo Frost and it was nice to have the reinforcement of her techniques down on paper. We are using many of them.

Good book for 1st time mom's with children under 4 years old. I got it to help with my 4 year old and since he is my 2nd child it was not much help it was stuff I would have found helpful my 1st go round and since my son is well hard to handle I did not find it very helpful it talked more about general parenting rather then dealing with children that are harder to handle then most.
So 1st time mom's with children under 4 years old I would say good book. Anyone else I would have to say back talk 4 steps to ending rude behavior in your kids might be a better read.
