Title: not my cup of tea
Review: I thought Rosemond's thoughts on play were valuable. I did go through my two-year old's toy box and got rid of all the toys that don't require any imagination, and his ability to stay with one activity increased dramatically.However, I wouldn't recommend this book because I feel that his advice is archaic and unsubstantiated. He recommends making your child feel like he or she is no longer the center of your life, that you are the center of theirs. I see his point, but I have a hard time with that. What's wrong with a child feeling so important to a parent? Also, I'm just not comfortable with letting him roam the house unsupervised for extended periods of time. I feel that at his young age, he needs adult interaction. not all the time, but most of the time.I guess I have more of an attachment style, and Rosemond's recommendations for the most part just didn't sit well with me.
Is the review positive or negative?
