Title: Read what the AAP and other experts say about Ezzo
Review: This book and others by Ezzo are nothing more than one uneducated (Ezzo has no background in child development or medicine) and over-opinionated person's views on raising children. Ezzo views children as a parent's PROPERTY rather than RESPONSIBILITY. As I read the book I noted many areas where it was obvious that Ezzo was overemphasizing his own pet peeves.Most of the parents I know who support these parenting methods are over-eager for a "show-child" that perfoms for the parents. They want there 3-year-old playing piano, etc. Most of them put their children in every group activity available, anything that gets the parent attention.I caution parents to consider the long term results. In the short term you get a robotic, subserviant child. In the long run you get what Ezzo himself got, grown children who want no part of their parents' lives.
Is the review positive or negative?
