“This important, interesting, and clearly written book explains how child rearing determines child development, and the role that this can play decades later in adult health or disease, happiness or emotional distress, and social function or malfunction. Extremely well referenced and including important historical information as well as current discoveries in neuroscience, The Critical Role of Parenting in Human Development is of particular value to parents, primary care physicians, and all others who deal with the long-term outcomes of childhood, whether in their personal lives, as spouses, or professionally.”
