Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool
By Emily Oster
46 Ratings
A guide on the early years of parenting written by an economist, from the author of "Expecting Better" and "The Family Firm". Equipped with the information, Oster discovers that the received wisdom isn't always accurate. Among many other topics, she dispels myths about language acquisition (early talkers aren't always geniuses), sleep training (not so awful!), potty training (wait till they're ready or maybe bribe them with M&Ms), and breastfeeding (not a panacea). She also teaches parents how to navigate difficult decisions like whether and how to return to the workforce, how to discipline a toddler, and how to manage a relationship and a family at the same time. Emily Oster is a mother of two and a qualified specialist who can help us make better, less stressful decisions and maintain our sanity.
