What's the right way to parent? Venture into any playground
or online message board and you'll find as many opinions as
there are adults present. Every subject -- from sleep
training to time-outs to pacifiers -- has its supporters
and detractors, and every viewpoint can be backed up by a
truckload of research and statistics. It's enough to reduce a new parent to tears, if the 3 a.m.
feedings and endless recitations of Goodnight Moon aren't
doing that already. Yet there is a way to end the madness,
to calm your fears, and to make those precious early years
a source of joy for both of you. Ada Calhoun, a young
mother herself, infuses Instinctive Parenting with the
smart and candid approach that earned Babble an ASME
nomination for General Excellence Online and close to two
million readers. Her simple yet profound advice: Find what
works for you and your family and ditch the anxiety and
judgment. Everyone wants to do what's best for his or her child, yet
the fact is there is no universal "best." Whether you start
solids at four months or eight, whether you co-sleep or
Ferberize, whether Junior's mac'n'cheese is dayglo orange
or 100 percent organic matters a lot less than other
parenting books -- and other parents -- might have you
believe. What does matter is providing the few absolute
essentials (love, food, shelter) while teaching your little
one how to be a kind, responsible human being. With its
compelling mix of entertaining, hilarious fi rsthand
accounts and refreshing common sense, Instinctive Parenting
will show you how to do that -- and even show you how to
retain your sanity, your friends, your sense of humor, and
your personal life in the process.
