Better Safe Than Sorry

Date of Review:  Jun 6, 2000
Review: This book is a real eye opener for all parents. Gavin de Becker is one of Oprah's "tell it like it is" guests and I'm thankful for his skill. I first recall seeing de Becker on Oprah a few years ago after he wrote his first book, "The Gift of Fear."...

Moms, Please Read

If there ever was an "owner's manual" for children, this would be it

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2005
The Bottom Line: a definite "must read" for all parents and caregivers; the best gift you can give someone you care about
Review: I wish I had heard of this author a long time ago. His books have empowered me beyond my wildest imagination. As a teenager, I had to park my car at the curb of our middle-class neighborhood street and walk to the front door of our house. I usually...

Empowered Again

Date of Review:  May 9, 2002
The Bottom Line: Although I borrowed this from the library, I plan on buying my own copy.
Review: I read Gavin de Becker's previous book, The Gift of Fear, and loved it. So I was excited when I stumbled across this book at the library. I have two children, one boy and one girl, so this book was very interesting to me.

The book begins...
