Being pregnant, I read the book. The book is very easy and understandable, I really absorbed it. I found the first 3 chapters very interesting with very important information, while the 4th chapter was a bit boring for me personally. So, in conclusion, yes, it is a book that I would recommend for everyone to read, not only for parents, BUT also for women who have, expect, or are thinking of having children, as it can acquire a lot of psychological and fear of responsibility by reading it. Almost the whole book mentioned that any psychological issue that appears in the child is solely the mother's fault and responsibility. So let's gather the knowledge, but let's not forget that Mr. Giwosafat is a child psychiatrist of a certain age and many things have changed since then.

I read the book during my pregnancy, while I was waiting for my first child. At that time, having complete ignorance about what life with a baby is like, the book seemed very useful and very clear in what Mr. Yiassafat was saying. Then I gave birth, and even now when I think about what he said about what my mom should do, it seems funny, not to mention infuriating. If I were a little more vulnerable during my postpartum period, I might have died of depression from the guilt of not being able to do everything the author considered necessary. In theory, it's very nice for the mom to be involved with the baby 24/7 and for the dad not to even change a diaper, but in practice, all of this is impossible.

Necessary book for every new parent written in simple and understandable language by a scientist with deep knowledge of the subject. The gift I give to every friendly or relative couple who brings their first child into the world. It's worth dedicating two afternoons of your time (you don't need more to read it in its entirety) to read it.
