Description

If children were born with an instruction manual, parents would sigh in relief. Raising children is an awesome task, especially in New York City with its virtually limitless goods, services & activities. This guide to the special pleasures & challenges of raising children in Manhattan covers the city as a community resource & provides the information that every parent needs. The book educates parents by guiding them through the school application process, choosing doctors & caregivers, handling birthday parties, networking with other parents, dealing with emergencies, scheduling activities & play date etiquette. Also included are detailed listings of over 275 retail establishments specializing in children's goods & over 450 activities for children (classes, cultural activities & "boredom busters"). Business & services are not rated or reviewed, but are presented in an objective, easy to use, format.
