Praise for
Practical Wisdom for Parents
“All four of our kids are 92nd Street Y Alumni, so we’ve long benefited from the calming wit and considerable wisdom of Nancy Schulman and Ellen Birnbaum. There’s nothing as wonderfully dynamic and dizzying as life with a preschooler—Nancy and Ellen’s insights and advice have helped us to not only survive each of our children’s journeys, but also truly savor them. Do yourself, your family and your child a favor: read this book.”
—Tracy Pollan & Michael J. Fox
“This sparkling gem is the best book of its kind that I have ever seen. Just as the title promises, the book overflows with practical wisdom, specific tips and techniques that parents and teachers can not merely appreciate but actually use and use every day. Schulman and Birnbaum obviously both know little children inside-and-out and love them through-and-through. Their book is a gift to all who share their love and want to do the best in caring for our most valuable and vulnerable citizens, our children.”
—Edward Hallowell, M.D., author of The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness
“If you ever wished your child had come with an instruction manual, this is it! From picking a school to figuring out morals, to dealing with every developmental issue, Schulman and Birnbaum have covered all of the topics you need to know about (and didn't know who to ask or trust). Practical Wisdom for Parents offers great insights, useful tips, and the most thoughtful advice out there. If you are looking for a book to help you get through the tricky preschool years and come out with great kids, this book is a must read.”
—Jane Buckingham, author of The Modern Girl's Guide to Life
“Nancy Schulman and Ellen Birnbaum are two of the most wise, experienced and creative people in child education. Whether helping you to make the most of your child's wondrous strengths or being able to help them deal best with a vulnerability, Nancy and Ellen use their unique expert abilities to help your child to be their best selves. This is a must read for every parent.”
—Gail Saltz, Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry at The New York Presbyterian Hospital and NBC’s Today Show contributor
“Practical Wisdom for Parents provides parents the building blocks they need to guide their children through those key developmental preschool years. Refreshingly straight forward, Schulman and Birnbaum give advice on everything from picking preschools to teaching your children manners. This is an essential reference for every parent.”
—Harold S. Koplewicz, M.D, Founder and Director of The Child Study Center, New York University School of Medicine
“This is the best book about raising preschool children that I have ever read. You will read and re-read it many times. If you want to know why it is so important to spend ‘down time’ with your child, if you want to know how to ask the question ‘How was school today?’ and actually get an answer from your child, read this book.”
—Michael Thompson, PhD, co-author of Raising Cain
