Críticas

“This engaging book teaches both the critical thinking skills and the uncritical thinking fallacies that we all need to know about in order to effectively evaluate the many notions we are exposed to regarding the developing child. Each claim opens with a fun brief story with which to practice a reasoned approach to examining evidence.”
(Stephen Hupp, co-author of Great Myths of Child Development)
