The Parents Journal Guide identifies the most important things every child needs in order to develop and thrive, and presents easy, everyday opportunities to meet these needs though the ordinary daily routine of parents and children.



Through over 700 in-depth interviews on topics ranging from temper tantrums to kids in sports to baby's first words to homework hassles, Bobbi has sifted through a vast assortment of parenting information to find the best tried and true parenting wisdom.
