Great concept, but we only got a glimpse of the future for one child. And assuming that there have been significant improvements in technology in the decade since this was published, a lot of these tips may turn out to be unecessary or some better/easier ways of doing things may have been devoloped over the years.

I will have to reread this book again. Had some really useful information, just I didn't write them down so I forgot them. Although it isn't my work field, it's always good to know additional things about children, even if teenagers are completely parallel universe of its own.
