• Bought As A Gag Gift, And Man, What A Joke It Is 27 April, 2005
There's nothing new in this book, and no 'psychological tricks' either--it's full of the same old regurgitated bad advice other know-it-all would-be childcare experts have offered. His storytelling advice alone is laughable, and clearly comes from a person that does not often engage in storytime with kids.
The worst offense, however is the shoddy fact-checking that allowed an urban legend to slip into the book--that old myth about kidnappers whisking children away into bathrooms for a quick haircut, dye job and change of clothes before making for the exit. (Don't believe me? Check out Snopes.com and read for yourself.)
Don't waste your money on this book, just use a little common sense.

• Thoughts From A First-time Mom 05 May, 2005
i'm a first-time mom and have realized over the past year that these primal little creatures definitely have one up on us new parents. it's good to know there's someone on MY side with tips and tricks -- really just good common sense -- to help even the playing field somewhat (pun intended). dr. buff's practical, real-world tips offer help from babyhood to adolescence, so i'll be keeping this guide handy as my toddler grows!

• Great Thoughts For Daddy On The Go! 05 June, 2005
I travel alot and my wife gave me this book for airplane reading. At first I laughed at the title, but I found after reading, it gave lots of good pointers for when I am with my 3 children. I'm not home to apply these principles for the day-to-day activities like my wife, but it really helped me maximize my quality time by providing me with quick responses to situations that I may not have been prepared for. Are you going to write a book to help me when they are teenagers?

• Big Fun! Huge Blessing! 29 August, 2005
I don't know what I used to do without some of these helpful little gems! This is such a fun book to read that one almost forgets that it is full of useful, well-researched advice for parents. The best part of all is that the advice works! The financial investment is minimal. The enjoyment and rewards are invaluable.

• Better Than His Other Two But Still Stinks 17 August, 2007
I'm disenchanted by this author. I bought all three of his books here on Amazon and thank goodness I bought them used or else I'd be livid! What a waste of time. No such 'trick(s)' in this book! Just common sense stuff that you already know. It's all a marketing ploy to get you to buy a book that promises psychological tricks but when you read it, there's no tricks, but rather plain & simple parenting. Oooooh boy! That's so hard to do I need a psychologist to tell me how it's done.
