A review by andrea_connors
The Family Firm: A Data-Driven Guide to Better Decision Making in the Early School Years by Emily Oster
4.0
*I received this book from NetGalley in return for a honest review*
I really enjoyed Expecting Better and Cribsheet so I was excited when I saw that Oster had a new book coming out covering the Elementary School years I was very excited. This book is different than the previous ones, but that is because the data because more complicated as kids get older and what works for one family is completely different than others.
I really liked how she laid this book out however; with broad ideas and then more specific examples such as when your kids start school (should you hold them back a year if they are born later in the year), or how many after school activities should they be in, and when they should get their own phone. This book covers a lot of important topics and like always is written in a way that is very easy to read and enjoy.
