Nurtureshock: New Thinking about Children by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman
Nurtureshock: New Thinking about Children

This book is incredible - definitely my favorite read of 2010! I usually stick to historical fiction, but this book had just enough anecdotal content plus the research to back it up, that it honestly hit the spot for me. As an elementary school teacher, it was eye-opening to say the least, and as a new mom (as of November 10th, 2010), I found it extremely valuable! I would recommend this book to all parents, grandparents, caretakers, teachers and anyone else who would take the time to not only read it, but commit to the practical application of the some of the concepts discussed.
