Reviews

[Negin Hdzdh]

There are hundreds of books which are more valuable about this subject

[Kara]

We're expecting, and our MIL gifted us this book so that we could see what sort of parenting advice she'd been reading when she raised my husband and his sister.

It was interesting, but I wouldn't recommend it today. Much of the book is science-dependent (which is great), but science in parenting has moved along quite a bit since these essays were originally published.

[Michele]

Only for people with zero common sense.

[BVC]

Molto interessante l'approccio di Spock, ma spesso troppo aneddotico per essere un testo per i genitori pubblicato nel 2001.

[Kristine]

Short, simple, and to the point. Quick, easy read.

[Frank Tobia]

Quick read, seems reasonable.

[Heather Laaman]

I can see why this guy was so popular
