Having recently (two years ago) become a first time parent and being an academic and theoretician by birth and unimpeded habit I "read up" on how to parent by reading mostly everything without (much) prejudice.

I would like to recommend parents to avoid this. I would also like to recommend parents to avoid recommendations. Read if you must, but vary the sources of your advice, draw your own and as few conclusions as possible and apply what feels natural in your new parental ro More...

This book is sometimes simplistic or maybe just...foreign...as you struggle a bit to get what the Danish author is saying.

why: jenni p marked it as to-read, saying it reinforces AP practices. I don't really know much about AP beyond the baby-wearing phase, but want to learn.

Highly opinionated, unfounded, ethnocentric, disagreeable in parts, but very thought-provoking - and as such should be read by every parent.
