Yo C.
I bought this book to give as a gift for a new mom. It has so much fun things to do with your child in their early years. Its easy to read and I totally plan on giving this book to my "new mom" friends and family.
I wish I had this book when my kids were little!
got kids? Get this book! October 6, 2008

Author/coach/teacher Karen Ronney's book, "Proud Parents' Guide to Raising Athletic, Balanced, and Coordinated Kids; A Lifetime of Benefit in Just 10 Minutes a Day" is a must-read for anyone interested in a child's future. This extremely helpful compilation of information for parents (and caregivers) of young kids is a book that i wish had been written when my parents were raising ME so they could use it and learn from it! Ronney's easy-to-understand language and easy-to-implement skills/ideas make helping a child become the best he/she can be much less challenging and a lot more fun! I have recommended this book to many of my friends and will continue to sing the praises of this book. It fills a much-needed void.

Happy MOM (California, USA)
All I can say is WOW! My 18month old son was diagnosed with delayed motor skills which I was sending him to physical therapy for, when I came across this book. The activities are extremely easy to do and after 10 minutes a day for 2 weeks myself and the physical therapist couldn't get over his progress!! I then started doing the drills with my 5 year old daughter who has no motor skills problems and her agility and balance has improved dramatically. This book is a must for children of all ages!!!!!!!!!
