Simple truths that are usually familiar to anyone around 30. Good read for those who are not familiar or younger. More suitable for men in my opinion, due to the examples the author uses to illustrate tips.

A great book for anyone. A deep analysis of the problems our boys are facing these days from all the aspects possible and ways to help them live a healthy and happy life. The last chapters are very useful with actual advice on ADHD or reduced dopamine function in kids and adults.

"My body, my choice", only for girls, boys don't choose as they are still mostly circumcised in the U.S. for the most vague reasons.."20% greater chance of experiencing alexithymia, a condition that makes it difficult not just to express feelings, but to identify them to begin with."

I'm not sure teasing from Dad is such a good thing for girls . For me, teasing is nicer joking about weaknesses or habits. It's a more appropriate form of criticism, but still criticism. If you don't like your kids habits or you're concerned about their weaknesses, it's always better to have a talk about it, not criticize them, but tell them directly why it bothers you.

A lot of food for thought.

It's frightening how even if you lead a somewhat healthy life, unless you never go out or visit friends who aren't as crunchy as you are, there is no way to avoid screwing with your child hormones. Phthalates are in every smelly plug-in/candle house, cheap Chinese plastic toys and food/water.

Started to get sad that the book is going to finish too soon and it's the last in the series so far.. can't put it down.
