""They"" have a lot to say about parenting, but is what "they say" truly the best way? Who is the ever-present "they" anyway, and how do they know what's best for your child? With insightful information from a real mom who's learned how to navigate the hearsay when it comes to parenting, They Say: Not Your Average Parenting Book encourages new parents to trust their instincts, listen to their gut, and keep in mind that what may work for one family may not work for another. With a firmly guilt-free approach and helpful insights on parenting from the newborn stage through the toddler years, Lauren Jumrukovski shares the good, the bad, and the ugly truths that helped shape the practical ideas she offers within these pages.
