review 1: As anxious pregnant woman and newbie parent, I was thrilled with the comprehensive nature of this book. Dr. Jenn gives lots of information and summaries of the parenting literature. And, I am in love with the charts, tables, and format of the book. It is a great reference book for suggested books, toys, developmental stages and parenting strategies. Dr Jenn's tone is approachable and concrete, which is very appealing.That being said, Dr Jenn takes a hard stance on the issues that are important to her (and many other parents) that did not resonate with me. Several chapters I skipped, not because of good info, but because it is not a priority to me in parenting - teaching foreign language and safety. Some chapters I read, to learn but I know that my style will not be as exag... moregerated as she suggests - no tv. Bottom line: this is a very well written, comprehensive book on several strategies to encourage academic success from a very early stage; however, maintaining and incorporating all discussed topics and recommendations is an act of futility or a nervous breakdown for you or your child. Read this book with an eye to incorporate what works for you, and don't view it as a critique of your parenting skills!
review 2: Full of so much information -- overwhelming! It took me a long time to read because my brain was on overload every few pages. A lot of good info and tips for raising a happy and healthy child, but I felt some of it is a bit overkill.... Based on some the authors stats and recommendations, it is amazing that any of us ever survived being raised by our parents. I think it could have been organized a bit better as well, it's kind of a jumbled mess. But I did gain some knowledge and I know my child will benefit from it. less
