        Best article on baby advice. Ie there is no advice. Must read by every parent preferably before becoming parents.

        The Sears family is getting an unfair treatment in my opinion. Granted, their approach is hardly science, but if there is any theme to their philosophy it is that parents well-being comes first. They provide a road map, not a straight jacket.

        I'd be interested in reading your new book but I have a tough time getting around how its about how society is getter safer when the wars, political landscape and even the Doomsday clock is advancing 30 seconds. It makes me wonder about your data and perception.

        Good article. My 14 month son loves reading. I don't think it will necessarily change him as an adult but my intuition is that spending time with him and reading is better than just throwing him on a TV or tablet
