I have just borrowed this from the library, and both Shel and I are absolutely in love with it. I recommend it to EVERY parent, it has really helped us all, and we haven't even finished reading it yet! I'm actually going to buy a copy so we have a copy. So glad I decided to borrow it! Even though we did so many of those things, its reassuring that we are in fact doing the right thing for our daughter, and its taught us so many things we didn't know about how certain things effect her.

This book should be handed out to every pregnant woman! if only!
This book is our bible! Highly recomended! I often move it into sight in book stores lol! XX
Kristie, the name put my DP off, but I made her open it and read it and we're all glad that she did. If its going to entice more people to read it then all the better I think!
Now, I know I'm odd, but the new name really made me recoil. What I need to know? Well, gosh, how about "he's your son, get on with it" - that's what you need to know. Fancy-schmancy ideas about parenting I don't need.
The Science of Parenting was a great book because I love science! I love parenting! Put them together and you get a book I'm proud to have in my sitting room! How can it be off-putting to have something factual in the title rather than another "I'm the best do what I say" sort of title?
I agree with you RHF, in that I prefer the title Science of Parenting. I *hate* those books that tell you what you should be doing, especially when its usually one suggestion and generally no gentle alternatives. But a lot of new parents buy into those books, so for them this title is great.
