Lynness- regarding Nurture Shock

A really relevant and interesting book. I am going to read it again
right away and TAKE NOTES about what this might change. The main point
is that a lot of the things we're told we should do as parents to make
our kids smarter or discourage/encourage this or that behavior is based
on great-sounding ideas. But these ideas were thought up by adults, and
kids' minds don't work the same way. It doesn't tell you what you
SHOULD do, but it shows results from studies that are finally being done
to see if all these ideas really work and give you some insight as to
why they often don't.
