Some may call Dr. Gordon's advice alternative or even contrarian to
the current mainstream medical establishment. Many however,
enjoy his rational, safe and responsible approaches, which seem more
towards babies happiness and well-being than that of the parents.
Dr. Gordon has authored many popular books such as "Good Food
Today, Great Kids Tomorrow," "Brighter Baby," examining the
positive effects of attachment parenting. Also "Good Night! The
Parents' Guide to the Family Bed" and "Hug Your Baby," a gentle
guide through babies first year and his latest book, "Listening To
Your Baby: A New Approach to Parenting Your Newborn."
In addition, Dr. Gordon
writes a monthly column for "Fit Pregnancy" magazine.
Preschool and Interfering Parents and Friends
If you are not sure if you'll send your
kiddo to preschool and don't know how to handle your meddling
parents and friends, here's something you might try. Use a
JuJitsu approach in handling with friends and family members who
have all the answers.
Ask them to send you the data supporting and
opposing preschool education. If they won't put in the time to
do adequate research, as if it were their own child, then they
won't be allowed to give their opinion.
When it comes time to make a decision parents, do a LOT of
research on the effectiveness of preschooling. The data (or
maybe lack thereof) should convince you of what is best for your
child.
And whenever your friends and/or family
members want to start assuming financial, medical, educational
costs associated with raising your child, including night time
breast feeding, changing poopy diapers and so on, then you may
want to reconsider what they have to say about how you will
raise your child.
