Seattle, Wash. -- I just purchased a copy of your book and absolutely love it. It is easy to read, concise, and offers wise and intuitive advice. I would love to have my Pocket Parent autographed!

New York, N.Y. -- Thank you for your incredibly quick response to my question. This exchange is surely what the Internet is meant to promote.

New Zealand -- What a great site! Have saved it in my favourites and printed off heaps of relevant info for my partner and I to try to deal with our 16 month old who is experimenting with his parents! Keep up the good work.

Australia--"Your site is very informative!  I have tried some of your suggestions and find them very helpful, thank you!''

"Thank you...thank you...thank you! Your words of advice and understanding are very encouraging! My husband and I are looking forward to purchasing your book and learning better ways of coping with the unending energy supply our middle child posesses. Your confirmation of her antics being geared toward getting attention helps reiterate our need to focus individualized attention on her. Thank you again!"

"Dear Gail,
Thank you so much for your wonderful advice. I did purchase your book along with some others the same day I sent you this e-mail. What I have read has been very useful ... the problem is finding a few seconds where I can actually sit down to read it! That is why I love how you've arranged Pocket Parent, so I can quickly find answers on topics of concern. Thank you again.''

"I have been using the parenting resource materials at our Child Care Center for many years and they have helped many families. I am thrilled to see you are now on the www and I can recommend your site and well as your tapes. The site is informative, interesting and I love the question and answer feature. Great job, ladies, keep up the good work.''

"I just found your site -- loved it! It's so down-to-earth and practical.''

"We recently moved from Skokie to Michigan and I miss all the great parenting resources Gail created in Illinois.  Pocket Parent is great; I
have only now checked you out, and I'm delighted.''

"Thanks for letting me share these recipes, and thanks for all of the other great recipes on your site!!''

"Love your website! Keep up the great work in helping parents to be better people and parents.''

"I am writing from Georgia.  I very much like the concept of your web site, the colors and graphics are pleasant and appealing.  The categories are appropriate in that they are the headers to issues that most parents deal with in a day-to-day basis. Your site is much like cliff notes referances to go to when one feels burned out or in need of insights from other parents.''
 
''I believe there is a need for the type of service that you are providing, I can only hope that your efforts reach as many parents and parents to be as possible.  Much success to you and your organization."

"I really like your new site!   It's clear and easy to use.  I very much like the colors you've chosen as well as the graphics.  Good luck to you!''

"I just checked out your web page and thought it would be quite helpful to many parents.  I hope they take advantage of asking questions! I did print out Julie's chicken recipe and will make it tomorrow evening, thanks!''

"Reviewing and suggesting books is a great idea, but it would be helpful if you also indicate an age range for each item.  I am never sure which videos or movies are appropriate for my 3.5 year old.  Once you have it home it is much harder to screen before they see it. Thanks.'' (Note from Jo and Gail: Great idea! We will try to include recommended ages. If you watched a video or movie with your kids that you enjoyed, please tell us about it!)

"Your web page is fantastic!!!  It looks wonderful. The Pocket Pantry is really clever.''

"I love this site...it's awesome!  Thanks for these great resources."
