Least Fave? My Mum 
I thoroughly enjoyed Nigel Lattas show/book. Best of all DH enjoyed it too. Ladder of certain doom is filed away for later use 
I've seen Diane Levvy speak too and I found her informative. She does look a little too much like Mrs Doubtfire for my liking however! |

I like Nigel Latta, Ian Grant and Diane Levy
Don't like the rules based baby gurus who make lots of money telling parents how they MUST do things or their kids will be screwed up for life. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

I've never seen/heard/read Nigel Latta but I see a lot written ABOUT him on here and FB
My fave parenting guru is OhBaby  Coz it's not just one view IYKWIM, there's load of different ideas and one of them usually works!------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

Nigel Latta would be a fave. His books are hilarious to read. Went to see Diane Levy once - her ideas were good but could become very time consuming! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I can't really say I like any of them, although admit watching Supernanny is entertaining and informative.
I find Nigel Latta particularly irritating, and Diane Levy has a weird haircut so I can't take her seriously

same as Flissty. But i pretty much just take stuff i like from everyone.
I lOve ian grant on raising boys, and about "creating memories" for kids. we've done some of the suggestions (create a "summer holiday" album, go camping in the backyard)and the kids have loved it. |

The person who wrote raising boys I can't remember who it was but that was good for us, took some things from it but not everything. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

They are the Grant's I reread their 'Raising Great Girls' books over again every so often, because they are packed full of amazing ideas

I like the Grants, and Nigel Latta - altho they have quite different approaches, to me they are realistic and NZ relevant.
I can't STAND Supernanny - seriously, could she not get some diction coaching, there is no such word as ASSeptable! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)
