Is there a book or reference for that kind of parenting?
I’d recommend the book NurtureShock (https://www.amazon.com/NurtureShock-New-Thinking-About-Child...)It has great chapters on sleep, race, praise and most interesting of all, how the ways in which our efforts to become perfect parents can backfire.
Check out parent’s profile. Wish these books were around when my kids were young
Very useful guide for proper parenting. Thank you!
It sounds like you're going to be a great Dad!Perhaps not a hack, but I recommend reading the book, "How Children Succeed" - here's an extract: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5721868And I wish you all the best!

Yes - the contradicting advice is very real and overwhelming for parents. It is myth that there is "one way" to tackle most parenting things - there are too many factors at play (child temperament, parenting values, etc). Combining evidence-based advised with individualized support can actually help - but a blog/passive content can't do that. Thanks for checking us out! Would love to hear what you think!
Any parenting books you recommend? Thanks!
"sounds to me like raising a baby using a six-axis robotic arm"No it's like raising a baby using advice you read from books that are peer reviewed and revised over time vs. just listening to what your parents say.
Do you have a link or book about this to share for a new parent?
