"The coolest--and easiest--book for new parents" (Parents magazine)
Pregnancy? Newborn baby? Partway through parenthood with a toddler
or preschooler? No matter your stage, you could use more calm, more
confidence. You could read dozens of parenting books on pregnancy,
baby sleep, picky eaters, child psychology, child development,
potty training, and discipline. Or you could read Zero to Five: 70
Essential Parenting Tips Based on Science. Journalist Tracy
Cutchlow cuts to the chase, summarizing the best parenting research
in bite-sized chunks. She knows from her own experience with
motherhood: new parents are too busy and sleep-deprived. One tip
per page + beautiful photographs = cool + easy. Research With the
premise that science isn't perfect, but it's the best guide we've
got, Zero to Five draws on scientific research and studies from
experts such as Dimitri Christakis (screen time), Diana Baumrind
(parenting styles), Adele Diamond (neuroscience and executive
function), Carol Dweck (growth mindset), Alison Gopnik (child
psychology), John Gottman (marriage and conflict resolution), Megan
McClelland (executive function), Patricia Kuhl (language
acquisition and brain development), Ellyn Satter (feeding
children), Dan Siegel (emotions), Paul Torrance (creative
thinking), Grover Whitehurst (literacy and reading comprehension),
and more. Then Cutchlow makes it all readable, for that 2-minute
break you've got during the day. This parenting book is for you
...if you like to research all the options so you can find the best
...if you are feeling scared, anxious, or unsure of yourself as a
parent (who isn't?) ...if you like the idea of using science as a
filter for the crazy amount of parenting advice out there ...if you
want practical, how-to ideas for applying the research -- not just
what to do, but ideas for how to do it or how to say it ...if you
want to do things differently than your parents did, even though
you love them . ..if you want word-for-word examples for dealing
with specific discipline scenarios (hitting, biting, not sharing,
talking back, refusing requests, not listening, and more) ...if you
are wondering how to handle television and screen time ...if you
are interested in positive discipline or positive parenting ...if
you are a dad (or you are with a partner) who probably wouldn't
read parenting books ...if you are a grandparent wanting to be up
with the latest knowledge about raising kids ...if you are studying
for your CDA, or working in early childhood education, and want a
reference ...if you work with families and want to recommend or
provide evidence-based resources to them ...if you want to feel
like you're enjoying parenting, not just surviving it Who is using
