PARENTING MAGAZINE
Most women who have one child go on to have a second. Many are surprised to discover that the shift from one to two can be as life-changing as the shift from none to one. Having two children is different in almost every respect, yet there is almost no information, advice or support aimed at the second-time mother. Here at last is book that goes where other parenting books have feared to tread, addressing with humour and wisdom the practical and emotional issues of having your second child.
What the critics say
‘This wonderful book puts women’s experiences in a wider context and – more importantly – helps them to trust their own judgment. My only regret is that it wasn’t written seventeen years ago when I was going through what it describes.’ MAUREEN FREELY, author of THE PARENT TRAP
‘If you find yourself on the yummy mummy circuit these days, the chances are you can’t go anywhere without bumping into someone waving a copy of Three Shoes, One Sock & No Hairbrush. From the nursery gates to the Tumble Tots car park, young mothers cannot stop gushing about this guide to having your second child.’ SUNDAY TIMES
‘Abrams talks to her readers as equals and would not dream of telling them what to think or how to live. Her aim is to give them all the information she would have liked to have had at her fingertips when she had her second child. She talks about how different it is to be pregnant when you are also looking after another young child. Having charted the physical changes, she looks at the emotional changes that mothers can go through and how relationships with the first-born can alter.’ THE OBSERVER read full review
