Parenting guru still at work after all these years

If you're a good (or curious or frustrated) parent, you've probably read some of his books. He has been pumping out parenting advice since 1969, and at the ripe young age of 88, he's still at work.

T. Berry Brazelton.

His methods and mantra remain the same — offering thoughtful, reassuring advice rather than absolute rules, and letting parents make their own decisions about what works, while explaining what's going on at each stage of child development to make their job easier.

Ah..letting parents make informed decisions, instead of cramming rules down their throats. No wonder Mr. Brazelton is still going strong!

Note: this is not a wholesale endorsement or anything. In fact, we like other authors too...Burton White is another Tot Jot favorite.
