With Expecting Better, award-winning economist Emily Oster spotted a need in the pregnancy market for advice that gave women the information they needed to make the best decision for their own pregnancies. By digging into the data, Oster found that much of the conventional pregnancy wisdom was wrong. In Cribsheet, she now tackles an even greater challenge: decision-making in the early years of parenting.
As any new parent knows, there is an abundance of often-conflicting advice hurled at you from doctors, family, friends, and strangers on the internet. From the earliest days, parents get the message that they must make certain choices around feeding, sleep, and schedule or all will be lost. There's a rule—or three—for everything. But the benefits of these choices can be overstated, and the trade-offs can be profound. How do you make your own best decision?
Armed with the data, Oster finds that the conventional wisdom doesn't always hold up. She debunks myths around breastfeeding (not a panacea), sleep training (not so bad!), potty training (wait until they're ready or possibly bribe with M&Ms), language acquisition (early talkers aren't necessarily geniuses), and many other topics. She also shows parents how to think through freighted questions like if and how to go back to work, how to think about toddler discipline, and how to have a relationship and parent at the same time.
Economics is the science of decision-making, and CRIBSHEET is a thinking parent's guide to the chaos and frequent misinformation of the early years. Emily Oster is a trained expert—and mom of two—who can empower us to make better, less fraught decisions—and stay sane in the years before preschool.
Emily Oster is a professor of economics at Brown University and the author of Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom is Wrong--and What You Really Need to Know. She was a speaker at the 2007 TED conference and her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Esquire. Oster is married to economist Jesse Shapiro and is also the daughter of two economists. She has two children.
Good deterrence for non-parent
评分身为布朗大学的经济学教授,两个孩子的妈妈,作者用科学家的视角来研究现代流行的育儿理念是否有数据支撑,并提出做决策时可以使用的框架。大到母乳喂养,早期教育,立规矩,小到打襁褓,维生素补充,几乎涵盖了从宝宝出生到学前所有父母关心的话题。本书最大的特点,也是最宝贵的地方,它并不会告诉你应该怎么做,而是指导你通过科学理性的方式做出最适合自己家庭的选择。
评分送给待产朋友的礼物。作者是Brown的经济学家,这种用正经科学研究说话的育儿书比“经验之谈”靠谱多了,而且给新父母的take-away是:不用担心,没那么严重,那些口口相传新妈妈必须做的事情其实没那么要紧
评分实用,但是最后几章实在是数据不够写得好仓促
评分一本声称要通过经济学的决策训练,让人知其然还知其所以然的书。主要方法是收集数据,分析重点,根据自己具体情况进行决策。看的过程中难免浮起一个疑问:难道,除了经济学家妈妈,其他父母不也正是这么做的吗?不过是收集“数据”的方式不同,“数据”的即时性、有效性不同罢了。真正的缺环还是在如何对比甄别抓住重点那一环,具体到这一环,不太能看出这本书与其他育儿书的区别。比如同样讨论睡训,其他睡训书的数据、实验、图表也很多啊,儿科协会育儿百科也在与时俱进地更新啊,我刚好在这个问题上纠结过,作为一个普通妈妈跟她的思路没啥区别啊。给这本书戴上经济学的帽子有点言过其实。总之,这本书对新手父母还是很实用的,相当于N本育儿书的集锦,每个问题还总结了几条the bottom life,但也就是一本集锦了。
