As breakout stars of Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York City, Alex McCord and Simon van Kempen have inspired, infuriated and entertained parents across the country. Their new book, LITTLE KIDS, BIG CITY, is sure to continue that trend, with the added bonus of educating those with the daunting task of raising kids in an urban environment.
Writing with unique and humorous insight into the challenges facing city parents today, Alex and Simon use their own hard-won experience as a springboard to discuss a host of parenting topics, including baby's first six months, traveling with infants, hiring caregivers, disciplining, dealing with accidents, dining out, making the most of urban life, and scheduling time for non-urban escapes. Their informative and often hair-raising stories of life in the concrete jungle make "Little Kids, Big City" a must-read for parents, as well as for any fan of the show.
