Thanks to Linda and Doraine for this notice.
It is, however not a new book. I suspect the Ezzos are doing what they often
do and offering a revision.
When the Orange Country (California) Child Abuse Task Force published a
substantial critique on all existing Ezzo parenting materials (1995, I
think--?) they included info on this book. Fortunately, it is less offensive
than the rest. That isn't to say it's great and I am especially concerned
about the information on Post Partum Depression as I think its application
could be very dangerous for some women. I would never recommend this book
for other reasons as well, but it is less noxious than the Babywise ilk.
Wishing it would all go away,
Nancy Williams
