I found the book a quick and worthwhile read, as I did the "Babywise" books before it. It's a refreshingly different approach to parenting. I have to admit though, that I would have liked to see some more examples of how their principles could be applied in specific situations. In particular, I wanted more discussion of how to determine which freedoms your child is or isn't ready for and how best to correct the situation when you guess wrong. I do recommend the book.
