Zero to Five: 70 Essential Parenting Tips Based on Science (and What I’ve Learned So Far)

" Journalist Tracy Cutchlow cuts to the chase, summarizing the best parenting research in bite-sized chunks. She knows from her own experience with motherhood: new parents are too busy and sleep-deprived. One tip per page + beautiful photographs = cool + easy.

Research

With the premise that science isn’t perfect, but it’s the best guide we’ve got, Zero to Five draws on scientific research and studies from experts such as Dimitri Christakis (screen time), Diana Baumrind (parenting styles), 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 and brain development), 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 the day.

This parenting book is for you

…if you like to research all the options so you can find the best (same here)

…if you are feeling scared, anxious, or unsure of yourself as a parent (who isn’t?)

…if you have never spent more than a few minutes around a newborn before (I hadn’t)

…if you like the idea of using science as a filter for the crazy amount of parenting advice out there

…if you want practical, how-to ideas for applying the research -- not just what to do, but ideas for how to do it or how to say it

…if you want to do things differently than your parents did, even though you love them

…if you want word-for-word examples for dealing with specific discipline scenarios (hitting, biting, not sharing, talking back, refusing requests, not listening, and more)

…if you are wondering how to handle television and screen time

…if you are interested in positive discipline or positive parenting

...if you are a dad (or you are with a partner) who probably wouldn't read parenting books

…if you are a grandparent wanting to be up with the latest knowledge about raising kids

...if you are studying for your CDA, or working in early childhood education, and want a reference

...if you work with families and want to recommend or provide evidence-based resources to them

…if you want to feel like you’re enjoying parenting, not just surviving it
