About the Book

Screen time. Daycare. Praise. Sleep training. Spanking and time-outs. Helicopter versus "old school" parenting. There are a lot of questions facing parents of young children but consistent and reliable science-based answers can be hard to find. Parenting Made Complicated, written by child psychiatrist Dr. David Rettew, tackles many of the biggest controversies facing new parents today and examines the science behind these issues with writing that is lively, personal, non-preachy, and even funny. This book doesn't assume that the "correct" answer for each parenting dilemma is the same for each child. Instead it describes how different approaches may be required based on a child's unique temperament or other important factors. Practical, informed, and entertaining, Parenting Made Complicated is a complete resource for parents and professionals alike who are looking for dependable information about today's parenting controversies.

Review :
"Dr. Rettew does not offer hyped shortcuts. He tells it like it is: parenting is indeed complicated business. As a parent, scientist, and gifted writer, his volume provides much needed direction to the imperfect parents trying their hardest that we all are." -- Dr. Andrés Martin, former editor-in-chief of the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry "Part scientist, part physician, part artist, and all parent DL Dr. Rettew has given us a generous gift. Thoughtful, insightful, and eminently readable, Parenting Made Complicated will educate and delight moms and dads as they wade through the all too often murky waters of parenthood." -- Jess Shatkin, author of Born to Be Wild
