Book Reviews of NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children
Book Review: "Freakonomics" for Parents
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! Wow! WOW! What an amazing book. I could not tear myself away. This is a "Freakonomics" or "Tipping Point" style book about children and parenting. Each chapter takes an old theory previously accepted as gospel - turns it on it's head - and explains why. Just fascinating. And what a coincidence - I was reading the chapter explaining why the "Baby Einstein" videos do not work as billed - and then woke to the NY Times article about Disney offering refunds on said videos/DVDs. Will be sure to read more by this author.
