Myths of Child Rearing, 1983.
Summary: All of us want our children to grow up to be healthy,
secure, friendly and successful. Unfortunately, many parents are guided by
child-rearing myths that often create problems rather than solutions.
In Myths of Child Rearing, Dr. Rosner explodes the
most common and most dangerous of such misconceptions and strips away these
fallacies to help solve child-rearing problems.
Some of these myths are as old as the Bible, while others are modern; some
are misconceptions of valid child-care concepts, while others are utterly false.
What they all have in common is the damage they can do to our children. One by
one, Dr. Rosner examines these myths and provides healthy, practical alternatives
for parents at each stage of their child's development.
