The title is the best part of this book; it's basically catnip for parents. Unfortunately this turned out to be just another well-marketed book about not feeding your kids McDonalds and plunking them in front of the TV. A lot of the advice was pretty obvious: (Spoiler alert: be more attentive, limit TV and sugar...) I liked the section on games to play with your kid; I've started to do some memory and math games with my 2 year old, and if nothing else she seems to enjoy them.

Still, my B.S. detector was set to "moderate" throughout the book. For instance: the author recommends 200 mg of DHA for kids, and the author just happens to have a product on the market to fit that niche. I'm sure his intentions are good, but I'm naturally skeptical of the doctor-turned-merchandiser. The book was also on the fence about vaccines, suggesting that kids be given single-dose injections, but not to forgo vaccinations altogether. He offered no source to show that this technique has shown any difference in autism rates compared to control.

I found this book so so informative. If you want a couple extra hints with out feeling like you have to push things on your kids, this i a great book.
