Written by parents for parents!We humans are pretty clever.

We've mastered fire, invented the wheel, calculated the age of the Universe, sent people to the Moon, built machines that think, and cracked the genome.

So you'd think that with all our smarts, somebody would've come up with a surefire formula for raising kids.

Maybe that's because every child, like every parent, is an individual, and no two parent-child relationships are ever the same.

So, you can give up any notions of being a perfect parent.

But, you can learn to keep the big mistakes to a minimum and make the parenting enterprise easier and more rewarding for your children and you.

Which is where this book comes in. Whether you're child is a newborn, a teen, or somewhere in-between, Parenting For Dummies gives you the scoop on parenting basics.
