Good... again.

I liked You: Having a Baby and I really liked this book too. Very insightful and I definitely found some of the tips in this book to be very useful and educational.

How to Raise Your Child

The section of this book that dealt with childhood illness was a little longwinded but it was important. This was more of a health book than a book with tips on how to raise kids. But learning that you should let the child be his own person and not really push your ideas onto him was a good tip. I was looking for a book that dealt with the psychology of raising a child and not so much about germs. Pretty good though.

Too general.

Looks like authors create this book by compilig various sources. Too many general advices and not enough fresh ideas. Moreover it contained advices which is outdated and even harmful (not a lot but still)
