The City Parent Handbook

Bringing up children in the city is simply not the same as raising them in the suburbs.

Whether you live in New York, London, Los Angeles, Atlanta or Milwaukee, there's less space, more pace, and a whole new set of problems to deal with - from finding good (and affordable) educational options to protecting kids from the dangers of the mean streets.

Chock-full of indispensable information, and citified comic relief, The City Parent Handbook is the first comprehensive parenting book addressed specifically to the trials and tribulations - and wonderful opportunities - facing the urban family.

In this smart, in-depth, tip-filled guide, readers will discover the ins and outs of metropolitan parenting from squeezing the family's possessions into the glorified shoe box that passes as an apartment to partaking of all the fabulous diversity and culture that attracted urbanites to the city in the first place.
