Zero to Five: 70 Essential Parenting Tips Based on Science, Paperback

Spend more time sleeping. Spend less time reading up on pregnancy, baby sleep, picky eaters, child development, potty training, toddler tantrums, and positive discipline.

In Zero to Five: 70 Essential Parenting Tips Based on Science , journalist Tracy Cutchlow cuts to the chase. You get practical, lively, bite-sized chunks on the best parenting research.

Zero to Five draws on scientific research from a wide range of experts, including Diana Baumrind (parenting styles), Dimitri Christakis (screen time), Adele Diamond (neuroscience and executive function), Carol Dweck (growth mindset), Alison Gopnik (child psychology), John Gottman (marriage and conflict resolution), Megan McClelland (executive function), Patricia Kuhl (language acquisition), Ellyn Satter (feeding children), Dan Siegel (emotions), Paul Torrance (creative thinking), Grover Whitehurst (literacy and reading comprehension), and more.

Then Cutchlow makes it all readable, for that 2-minute break you've got during your sleep-deprived day. Zero to Five is the book she wished she had as a new mom.
