She wrote more than 30 books during her lifetime including The Taming of the C.A.N.D.Y. Monster, Practical Parenting Tips for the First Five Years, KoKo Bear's New Potty, and Fat-Proofing Your Children. She received the 1990 Parent's Choice Award for Vicky Lansky's Divorce Book for Parents: Helping Children Cope with Divorce and Its Aftermath. In 1979, she began publishing a bimonthly newsletter called Practical Parenting, which led to a nationally syndicated radio feature. She was the founder and owner of The Book Peddlars, a publisher and literary agency. She was also a columnist for Family Circle magazine and for Sesame Street Parents magazine. She died from nonalcoholic cirrhosis on January 15, 2017 at the age of 75. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

Baking Soda: Over 500 Fabulous, Fun, and Frugal… de Vicki Lansky
Great tips!
A nice little book that gives Dads trying to figure out what to do when he has the kids. Some of the ideas are no brainers, while others are more thoughtful and interesting. definitely a book to give to a new father to help him wit neat ideas to entertain children.
This easy read book is for children that are going through divorce. Koko Bear doesn't want two home and doesn't understand why their family is breaking up, and this book helps children understand family change and how it is not their fault.

Here are just a few of the ideas in this book that parents have actually used to make life with young children easier: Childproofing, Keep a rubber band around the toilet tissue roll to prevent waste and clogged toilets due to "flushing fascination.", Drape a towel over the top of the bathroom door to keep children from shutting it tightly and locking themselves in, Tantrums, Listen, Acknowledge the source of frustration, Whisper in your child's ear. The screaming may stop or turn into a giggle. Disappear into another room. You'll feel better and the tantrum will lose steam. Hair Care, Sit your child in a high chair to prevent "wandering." Spread a newspaper underneath. Remove gum from hair with peanut butter. Work it into the hair and then comb out both gum and peanut butter. And so much more suggestions.
