Description
"From every generation, a fresh resource about developing and educating kids emerges. This book is the one for this generation. It is clear, practical, and embracing of the science that weve heard over the last generation. Every reader will find the book to be directly applicable to raising kids and understanding the why behind it. I was excited to read the book and savor it all."
