I am reading a new book: ‘How Eskimos Keep Their Babies Warm’ by Mei-Ling Hopgood. A few weeks ago, there was a bit floating around Facebook about how pressured parents are to make every single second of their child’s day stimulating, perfect and crammed with learning. This pressure can make a parent go wack-a-doo. In Hopgood’s book, she examines cross-cultural differences about parenting from potty-training to bedtime to eating habits. I am only beginning this illuminating book and realizing how we operate the Akel household, is perfect, because it is perfect for us (and no one else). I strongly suggest you pick up this book. A fantastic read for any veteran parent, future parent or new parent. Yum yum, this is deliciousness for my brain cells.
