What is the Parenting by the Books Project?

It’s easy to become overwhelmed by all of the parenting resources out there. It’s hard to ignore the nagging voice of your in-laws on why you should only feed your little one a raw, organic diet. Facebook is a black hole full of convincing arguments from aunts you haven’t spoken to in years. You have an entire, untouched collection parenting books from questionable authors. What is a parent to do?

Listen to the research. Here is your holy grail. A parenting resource written by a non-parent. Purely facts, because it’s all we know.

This blog is part of a Family Development course. The information presented will be sourced from empirical research and other reliable sources, however the author does not intend for any written work to be utilized beyond the course.
