A Review on this prodict

I was very pleased with this product because it was the exact book I ordered, and it was also delivered on time so that I may use it for my class. This book is very interesting because it discusses many issues that people need to know as parents. I am still reading this for my class, so I cannot tell all about it's content. As far as I have read, this book is a great tool to anyone trying to learn about the history of parenthood, parenting styles, different theories of children in the families and how they grow, and also ways to interpret the different actions of children (such as bed wetting). This book is easy to read and follow along with. It has sections of review and summary, including the key terms you should know for each chapter. It also includes different social status issues such as how does infancy effect working-class parents. I recommend reading this book because it provides a great context to learn how to create a relationship with your child and keep it throughout life.
