Beyond the Sling: A Real-Life Guide to Raising Confident, Loving Children the Attachment Parenting Way by Mayim Bialik
3.0
First of all, Bialik does a great job of explaining Attachment Parenting in an easy to understand way. She is also obviously wicked smart and a scientist, and uses her science background to make a case for the AP way of life. She is obviously very, very strict about her AP parenting. The writing style is readable and friendly.
The reason I only give 3 stars is that much like any other book written by a wealthy celebrity about how to live life, I just get irritated. I'm irritated that someone making $100,000 per episode of television is going to act like they don't have much money or that they get to say that their way is the best way. It's lovely that Bialik and her husband don't have any other caregivers for their children. How nice it would be to be in that position. For many of us who have to work, it's difficult not to take it personally when the author starts preaching about choices.
