Description
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
'Chart a child's path with less stress and more optimization for healthy habits and future success' - Time
From age 5 to 12, parenting decisions become more complicated and have lasting consequences. What's the right kind of school? Should they play a sport? When's the right time for a phone?
Making these decisions is less about finding the specific answer and more about taking the right approach. Alongside these bigger questions, Oster explores how to navigate the complexity of day-to-day family logistics.
The Family Firm is a smart and winning guide to how to think more clearly—and with less ambient stress—about the key decisions of these early years.
