NURTURE SHOCK By Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman Publisher : Twelve The title really does explain this book in two words. The book is all about raising children and the contents will be a shock to a lot of parents. Reading it, I was quite horrified with what each chapter revealed. It proved to be eye-opening, to say the least. The book reveals the results of a number of studies and research papers which prove quite a few methods of parenting to have the reverse results of what parents want. However, do note that for every research paper and study that proves one thing, there is usually another study to prove the exact opposite. So, although this book is recommended for all parents with pre-school to teenage children, it should be taken with a pinch of salt. What works for one parent, may not work for every other parent, after all.
