karaayers 's review for:
I think most people grabbed by the description of this book would like it more than I did. I really liked NurtureShock by Bronson and Merryman, which presented evidenced-based alternatives to many of the assumptions we make about children and parenting. I found NurtureShock intriguing even before becoming a parent. Cribsheet makes a similar promise to assimilate research and facts in an attempt to best answer some of the most pressing questions for parents. My youngest is 2 and for me, the vast majority of the book was based on questions on the first year or so of life (or before). There were some interesting snippets but as a researcher myself maybe, I wanted more actual data. Maybe even graphs/tables to show relationships? I did appreciate the author's honesty when there isn't enough or good enough data to truly answer a question. I liked her writing enough that I would check out a follow-up. I mostly wish this one stretched a bit more into preschool instead of such a heavy focus on infancy.
