The only book that covers the financial, legal and practical aspects of raising your child.

Winner of the 
2005 Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award

You have diapers and naps figured out -- now it’s time to address the bigger questions about your child’s future. 

Whether you're a new parent or about to become one, turn to Parent Savvy to cross items off your baby "to do" list with confidence. It's the only book that gives you quick answers to questions that come with parenthood, such as…

  • What type of child care is best for my family?
  • How do I balance work with family? 
  • How do I take advantage of pregnancy and family leave?
  • Can I take advantage of tax credits?
  • What’s the best way to save for my child’s education?
  • Do I need to write a will and choose a guardian?
  • and much more

…you’ll find the answers -- plus tips, checklists and resources -- in Parent Savvy. It’s the all-in-one reference you’ll turn to over and over. The book also features parenting advice from BabyCenter, the nation's leading Internet destination for new and expectant parents.
