PARENTING MADE COMPLICATED

by RETTEW

Screen time. Daycare. Praise. Sleep training. Spanking and time-outs. Helicopter versus "old school" parenting. There are a lot of questions facing parents of young children but consistent and reliable science-based answers can be hard to find. Parenting Made Complicated , written by child psychiatrist Dr. David Rettew, tackles many of the biggest controversies facing new parents today and examines the science behind these issues with writing that is lively, personal, non-preachy, and even funny. This book doesn't assume that the "correct" answer for each parenting dilemma is the same for each child. Instead it describes how different approaches may be required based on a child's unique temperament or other important factors. Practical, informed, and entertaining, Parenting Made Complicated is a complete resource for parents and professionals alike who are looking for dependable information about today's parenting controversies.

[Mike Baniak · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the only worthwhile parenting book I have read, and I’ve at least dabbled in a few. Dr. Rettew treats his readers like the inquisitive adults they are, and provides a wealth of information in a digestible way for lay readers and first-time parents (I’m both). Highly recommend this book to any parent or parent-to-be.

Not all kids are same

I have always believed that each kid is unique and the book follows the same approach. It definitely helped me to understand my kid better and deal with difficult circumstances.
