What’s a Parent to Do?

Summary

Parenting can seem overwhelming. Most parents want what is best for their children, but few have the time, energy, or background knowledge to take a deep dive into an ocean of scientific studies every time a decision has to be made. This book translates educational research, from Piaget to the latest neuroscience article, into actionable strategies for parents.

The book is a “guerilla guide” in the sense that some recommendations may seem counterintuitive, radical, or contrary to popular practice. However, these strategies for home and school are supported by research and years of practical experience. What's a Parent to Do? is written for parents who want to know what to do, what not to do, and why.
