About this title

Synopsis

Author John Mangoni, M.D., tells parents the short and skinny on the nuts and bolts to parenting in the modern world. He provides guidelines, recommendations and tells it like it is on a wide range of topics. From the formula to good health to issues concerning the overly active and overly pampered child to combating childhood incidences of obesity, here is the template to good parenting. Refreshingly candid and at times brutally honest, this book examines the child-parent relationship with the goal to help good parents be aware of issues and help prevent difficulties affecting today's children.
