I’d recommend the book NurtureShock (https://www.amazon.com/NurtureShock-New-Thinking-About-Child...)

It has great chapters on sleep, race, praise and most interesting of all, how the ways in which our efforts to become perfect parents can backfire.

It worked for me growing up.

I attended 8 schools between ages 12 and 18 (yes, more than one per year) and was bullied throughout.

And that's why comparing parenting strategies is almost never fruitful -- nearly every decision a parent makes is deeply personal, made with very few data points.

( By the way, if any parents here have NOT read Nurture Shock, buy it right now. Pretty much the only data-driven book on parenting there is. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0446504122 )

Probably a typo for "NurtureShock", a recently published book: http://www.amazon.com/btw-you-can-put-anything-here-or-even-...
