Summary
Parenting advice isn't hard to find. There are thousands of books on the subject, as well as a multitude of websites. Much has also been written on the science of child development. What's been lacking, however, are sources of reliable advice that bring together the scientific research and its real-world applications.
This course bridges the divide. In 24 engaging lectures, an expert in the cognitive development of early childhood presents what scientific research has revealed about the things parents can actively do to promote children’s long-term development right from birth. Professor Vishton delivers a wealth of practical tips to help children reach their full potential intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially. And he supports it all with findings culled from the latest scientific literature.
You’ll touch on topics across all areas of childrearing, from sleep and nutrition to behavior and academics. And you’ll get answers to many of the most common parenting questions:
- Should I sleep-train my baby by letting her “cry it out”?
- Should I let my infant, toddler, or child watch TV-and if so, how much?
- Should I allow my child to play video games?
- Should I pressure my picky eater to finish her vegetables?
- Should I spank my child when he misbehaves?
In addition to learning methods for laying an early foundation in subjects such as math and reading, you’ll gain information for boosting your children’s overall cognitive abilities-and even their IQ scores.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Perfect...
Would you consider the audio edition of Scientific Secrets for Raising Kids Who Thrive to be better than the print version?
There aren't many things to say about the book. The lecturer is amazing and the content is detailed but easy to listen to. It's a pleasure to listen to the whole course and recommended to all parents, would-be parents, caregivers and any other people working with children.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No... take your time to assimilate all the ideas.

I already knew say half of these but that l's not the point. The author is thorough and personable and the whole thing was enjoyable and informative.

Quite good but beware of gender equal language
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I found the book quite good but mainly targeted at parents of quite small children. Also the gender equal language, randomly using he or she for the child, got a bit on my nerves.The second to last chapter was about immunisations and the way he generalised this one misinterpreted study raised my hairs, because I have a lot of opinions about many immunisations, ranging from essential to not necessary. The simplyfied aproach to his recommendation here made me wonder how valid the other recommendations were.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Scientific Secrets for Raising Kids Who Thrive?
The one chapter about teens.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Professor Peter M. Vishton?
Definitely not right away, because of the he/she approach, but not a definite no, he is not the best narrator in the world, but ok.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, it is divided in lectures and more than two or three in one go is two much.
Any additional comments?
Targeted at parents of children up to the age of 10 I would say.

On point
The course is really interesting. The part about nutrition " calories in calories out" is false. Do your own research about nutrition.

An absolute must read for every parent
Great course that every parent, regardless of their child's age, should listen to. Although there is no 'magic' way to make your child smart/healthy/happy the course provides good parenting tips based on scientific research.

Good overview of the research
I really enjoyed this course. It gave wide ranging, evidence based tips that have given me confidence to pursue.
The course by it's nature covered a wide range of ages for it's advice and I think that is a strength(as long as you were not after a book specifically about teeneagers etc.).
