Forget quicksand and shark attacks, "child rearing" is a much more terrifying experience! A screaming baby on an airplane, monsters hiding in the closet, the first date -- all high-risk adventures parents need to survive. This book tells how to keep parents safe, from cradle to teens. Included in the hands-on step-by-step instructions are how to: remove objects stuck in a child's nose, gum stuck in hair, baby-proof the house, or deal with a dead pet. From the perils of the play-date, to explaining about the birds and the bees, this essential guide tells parents what to really expect when your worst-case scenario is all in the family. Has 2-color illustrations throughout. Paperback. 5 x 7"; 176 pp.
