"As I began reading Dr. Holinger's book, I was immediately able to start substituting better solutions for us. The problem is usually not with Max, it was with my reactions to Max's behavior. Every day is better when it ends with less yelling. Thank you Dr. Holinger!"
-- D. Arellano, San Jose, CA

"This new book was really helpful to my husband and me in learning to understand how babies view you and their world, and most of all how they communicate what they are feeling. It was really an eye-opener to see my baby's exact expressions captured and explained in this book! I most appreciated the suggestion to lay on the floor and play with your baby, appreciating her interest in her toys from her perspective. It is a great way to get some much-needed rest and play and bond with your baby at the same time!"
-- L. Teichman, Chicago, IL

"As a first time mother I was confused and perplexed about what my daughter wanted and needed from me. This book explained the signals that she was using to communicate with me and what an amazing difference it made. I'm now able to better read her signs and communicate with her even though she is not yet able to verbalize what she wants. This book is written for everyone with lots of great stories and examples that apply to situations that we as parents are running into everyday. I would recommend this book to every parent of young children...it's the only book I've read on parenting and the only one I feel that I need. I've also recommended this book to many of my friends who are also first-time mothers and it has helped them tremendously as well."
-- Candi Carlson, South Bend, IN
