COMMUNITY REVIEWS
My all time favorite parenting book submitted by bchapman630 on July 14, 2013, 10:04am If you have any question whose advice to follow - this book will make you second guess any sort of "fad" parenting and really explores the concepts of evolutional biology and how generations and generations of procreation has set up an almost perfect system in which newborns are given adequate emotional, nutritional and social support. It's cross-cultural parenting at best and an be applied within any culture. If nothing else it will make you think about why you are the person you are, why you are the parent you are and why your parents were the parents they were from an anthropological, cultural and biological perspective instead of "they were just raised that way". Excellent resource. I gave a copy to our child's nurse practitioner and she still refers back to segments from the book in conversation; she loves it too.
