Title: Nothing To Offer to the Genre
Review: Neither helpful nor insightful. That is how I would characterize this book. Where to start? It was simply dreadful, in my opinion. First and foremost, not a single opinion contained in this book was sourced from any reliable research. There was no analysis of current studies on children and parenting. In fact, there were no studies mentioned at all, to back up the author's opinion that most children out there are twits. There were a lot of anecdotes about how the author disliked what he saw children doing in restaurants or stores. Truthfully, I felt like these anecdotes revealed much more about the author and his own issues. His opinions about toilet training, breastfeeding, and other developmental stages revealed an ignorance of the most current evidence and studies about these stages. In general, this was just a pile of poorly reasoned opinions and conclusions drawn from incredibly shallow observations. A complete waste of time.
