Children are not all the same. You can't follow instructions and expect success every time. What if parents approached their children as questions to be answered rather than problems to be solved?

Scientist Emma Byrne uses evidence-based insights into physical and emotional development, as well as what really happens during sleep and detachment from parents. She shows how to apply them to the unique child in front of you. She challenges conventional wisdom, focusing on variety as well as the average – because your child is an individual, not an average.

Like all good scientists, you will have some failures along the way. You will reach dead ends and will need to find new approaches. But by staying curious, creative, and attentive to what is really happening in your family, Emma Byrne will help you understand it. Just in time to change everything again.
