Parentology

Dalton Conley, Parentology: Everything You Wanted to Know About the Science of Raising Children but Were Too Exhausted to Ask (Simon & Schuster). Di lui  Rebecca Traister dice: "His name is Dalton Conley, and he’s a sociologist at New York University who’s taken his own fatherhood, put it in the blender with his professional interest in scientific inquiry, and produced “Parentology.” He characterizes his technique as the opposite of everything uptight, including “old-world parenting; traditional parenting; textbook parenting; tiger mothering; bringing up bébé.” He’s not into that ponderous, prescriptive stuff. His brand, he says, is more like “jazz parenting,” an “improvisational approach.” nyt.
