"the book is intriguing since it undertakes to question some widely held and strong beliefs, not only for parents who might read it but to the field of academic child developmentHaving studied children’s development as a researcher, clinician, and parent, I found the questioning of “facts” refreshing and important and would recommend it as an additional reading for students interested in child development."
