If you're a prospective parent, or the parent of a young child, I'd love to tell you about my new book. Better yet, attend one of my parent education workshops or a talk on the book. You'll find my schedule on my web site, temperamenttools.com, and in the What's New column at my publisher, ParentingPress.com.
BTW, here's what my publisher is currently saying about me:
Parenting Press is celebrating, and so is Helen F. Neville! "Is This a Phase? Child Development & Parent Strategies, Birth to 6 Years" has won a silver medal in the 10th annual Book of the Year Awards sponsored by ForeWord magazine.
An Oakland, California parent educator and pediatric advice nurse who used her 30 years of experience to answer the questions that parents always ask, Neville was honored at the 2008 BookExpo America in Los Angeles.
"Is This a Phase?" has also received an Honor Award in the 2008 National Parenting Publications Awards program (see www.parenthood.com for details).
Jurors in the 2008 Benjamin Franklin Awards program wrote, “Bravo! Excellent project: clear, concise, informative writing.â€
Even better, "Is This a Phase?" was the subject of a rave review in Library Journal.
This prestigious industry publication described it as “an authoritative reference covering a broad range of topics . . . that every parent needs. . .Neville’s book is accurate, reliable, and practical, with many charts and graphs that render the information accessible.â€
Neville has been affiliated with Kaiser Permanente for three decades. She is also associated with Bananas, the Oakland child care resource and referral network. She earlier co-authored "Temperament Tools," also published by Parenting Press.
