Easy to read summary of latest research in child development
The highlight of the book for me was that the author didn't make any grand pronouncements. Also I found her approach concerning cost benefit of different parenting styles very much relevant.

Theoretical but may not be applicable
The book tries to give evidence based advice regarding many parental dilemmas,however in most cases ends up telling you to do what suits you best.. Also the perspective is entirely American, majority of the scenarios my not be applicable to indian set ups, logistics and culture at all... So take it with pinch of salt...

Not at all helpful for Indian Parents
After learning that this is a research-backed book, I bought it thinking it would guide me as a first-time mom as to what approach to take in traditional vs. modern ways of upbringing children. But to my disappointment, the book is not culturally suitable for me. Irrespective of the fact that India has nuclear families, our lives are still very much woven with our extended families and how that plays a role in the journey of parenting is something this book fails to note. It's very generalised and at the end of every discussion I felt that the underlying message was - there is no right or wrong way of parenting. Some things work for some and things don't. It is all about trial and error and how you handle your own big emotions when they show up with children. I found reading it a total waste of my time and energy.

Not for Indian parents
After reading good reviews, With a lot of excitement I ordered and started reading this book for some useful insights. But there is NOTHING for Indian parents. TRUST ME WITH THIS, IF YOU ARE AN INDIAN PARENT, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME READING THIS BOOK. Emily is beating around the bush, no conclusive details, no advice nothing. Itotal wastage of money and time. Disappoint only.

El título del libro lo dice todo
Es un libro que si buscas ser madre en EUA te ayuda pero te sirven pocos capítulos si no vives allá. Aún así, es interesante aprender las dinámicas y estadísticas del proceso de criar hijos desde el embarazo hasta que son infantes.

Interessante Perspektive
Toll für wissenschaftlich interessierte Eltern, da es diverse Themen und unterschiedliche Ansichten zum Themen Kinder bekommen und in den ersten Jahren erziehen mit wissenschaftlich seriös Daten hinterlegt bzw. widerlegt.

I enjoyed this book. It’s written in a fun easy to read format. I feel like it made me think about how things I really hadn’t considered yet. I loved all the data. Maybe not the most thorough but very good. I’d recommend

A must read
Highly recommended. It's no "in my opinion" or "my grandma told me" nonsense you read elsewhere. This is evidence-based talk deeply grounded in science. Cheery on the cake, it's very well written, easy to digest, and very hard to put down once you start chewing through the pages.
