Very informative. I thought it was going to have more specific instructions on raising kids, but I found that the generalities discussed in the book were really helpful and thought-provoking. Sep 01, 2014
A fun read with lots of good tips. I listened to it as an audiobook, which was quite enjoyable. Jul 29, 2014

I found most books I read while pregnant to be awful. Too many things to be scared of. Too much pressure on raising a perfect genius. This book is direct, science-based, and doesn't talk down. Winner. Mar 07, 2014
Must read! If you have a background in child development at all it won't be anything new, but it's written well and to the point. It gives practical advice, organized well and it's an easy read. Feb 03, 2014
Very interesting. Good read Jan 21, 2014

The first parenting book I read. I found it engaging and really insightful. The author explains the science behind various successful child-rearing techniques. Oct 21, 2013
This is the number one book I recommend for any new or expecting parents. Great information based on FACTS that will help guide you in raising smart and happy children. Don't skip the introduction! Oct 10, 2013
