Confession: I read this at least as much to see if it would help how I talk to myself as I did to think about how I talk to my kids. And I think it will. Having said that, I *do* wish I'd had this book before I'd had to deal with a couple pediatricians over the years. Not all the interviews were helpful or persuasive, and I don't follow Sole-Smith to all of her conclusions. But even where I don't, the studies she cites are a fascinating collection of research. I read this as a library book, but I'm planning on buying my own copy so that I can have the bibliography.
