Busting Myths

I talk and write about the fact that we, parents, live under the spell of some unacceptable assumptions and misconceptions about raising kids, and I bust them all in my book, articles and blog:

- "Child Proofing" is not necessary and might actually danger your kids
- There is no such thing as "The Terrible Twos"
- Kids love vegetables and are not born "picky eaters"
- Placebos are an excellent substitute for medications and provide the same results
- "Sugar Rush" has nothing to do with sugar

and there are many more myths that I talk about.

About the Book

When my son, Eden, was born in 2004, I decided to become a stay/work-at-home dad. I had two reasons for being so eager to immerse myself in dirty diapers, drool, and strained peas. First, I had developed some unusual theories on how to raise great kids that I wanted to apply, such as raising a baby in a non "child proof" house, teaching good sleeping and eating habits, potty training before 12 months and taking trans Atlantic flights with no hesitations. And second, I am dying.


Living on borrowed time, and despite everyone I knew telling me I was crazy, I decided to become a stay/work-at-home dad and shoulder most of the responsibility of caring for my son for his first year of life (and, potentially, the last twelve months of mine). I wanted to offer him proper guidance, using some very unconventional methods, through the first steps of his journey to becoming a fantastic kid and a great man—a journey I feared I might not be around to witness much of.

This humorous book takes the reader through my many successes (and failures) in my effort to properly care for my son while balancing my professional and personal life on this twelve-month journey. The book is also full of advice, tips, and insights on how to lay the foundation for raising independent, well-behaved children.
