Perfect for the new mother, the old mother and the mother to be- and let's not forget the fathers who need to hear the positivity in this manual. I don't have children, but the life Darlene has endured persuaded me to purchase this book. It's a book about showing your children love at all times, saying "I LOVE YOU" daily, and encouraging them to do well in school and to seek higher education. It's an easy read and the perfect gift for any mother expecting or with children.....daddies to- Mychaeltodd
