BEST ADVICE ON LIFE AFTER BABY ARRIVES: AN IVILLAGE SOLUTIONS BOOK
Evans, Nancy
2002 11689 Best Advice on Life after Baby Arrives presents tried-and-true, practical tips for moms, from moms. Addressing a mother's needs and issues - from how to deal with the inevitable exhaustion, to reconnecting romantically with her husband, to carving out time for herself - this book provides comfort, reassurance and inspiration to women facing the demanding first months after the baby arrives. "I ended up having panic attacks right after I had my first baby, because I didn't see a light at the end of the tunnel. Well, here I am with four kids now, and I can tell you it does get better. What you're going through isn't what things will always be like. Don't let anyone, especially yourself, make you feel guilty for doing something for yourself." "Get up 30 minutes earlier than everyone else and make it clear to everyone in the house that this is your time." "As long as your baby has food in her belly, clothes on her back, and is not overly wet, then that time is yours. You don't need to get in the habit of holding the baby all the time. Babies also need to learn to become independent - they need to know that someone doesn't need to hold them all the time." Rutledge Hill PRess 1-4016-0043-3 / 9781401600433

DONALD SAYS THUMBS
Cooney, Nancy Evans
1987 40321 From Publishers Weekly This book handles the problem of thumb-sucking with sensitivity and tact. Donald enjoys sucking his thumb when he's tired or sad. But he also takes pride in the fact that he is growing up, and he knowspartly because other kids have teased him about itthat sucking his thumb is "babyish." Finally Donald tells his father that he's going to stop sucking his thumb. "If that's what you want, fine. But don't worry about it," the father says. "You'll stop sucking your thumb when you're ready to." With his parents' support, Donald gradually learns to say "thumbs down." Parents can learn a lot from Cooney (The Blanket That Had to Go, who recognizes that only inwardly motivated change allows children to grow. And children will find a real friend in Donald. Ages 5-8. Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 2 Donald can dress himself and eat neatly, but he can't stop sucking his thumb. He tries wearing mittens, sticking the thumb in beets, sitting on his hands. Nothing works until he and his mother come up with a new game: Donald Says. Whenever he feels really unhappy and is tempted to suck his thumb, he runs to his mother. Then they bake cookies, go for a walk, play with puppets, ``whatever Donald said." Soon Donald stops his bad habit and finds positive things to do instead. The cheery paintings of the cozy family underscore the positive tone. Although other children tease Donald, his parents are unfailingly patient and supportive. The book's strong points are its eye-appealing format and upbeat tone. For children in search of hope that their thumbsucking can be overcome, this book might be useful. In fact, most children with a habit they want to control will love the ``Donald Says" solution of demanding attention of the kind they want when they want it. Most less-than-perfect parents will probably cringe at the thought of being on call 16 hours a day to act out their children's desires. How long might it take some children to shake the ``Donald Says" habit, a solution that might be worse than the original problem? Putnam Juvenile 0-399-21373-2 / 9780399213731
