Unlike many parenting manuals that take a preachy, theoretical tone, Sam and Liz are insightful, practical, and highly entertaining. It is clear that they are not only psychologists but in the trenches with their own children, allowing them to talk the talk and walk the walk. From temper tantrums to kindergarten readiness, the Dr. Moms' proactive approach brilliantly addresses the dilemmas of modern parenting. A must read for anyone with young children!\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e -Emily Giffin, New York Times Best Selling Author of Something Borrowed and Baby Proof \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"I highly recommend Ready, Set, Parent.
