The Family Firm - A Data Driven Guide to Better Decision Making in Early School Years

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

'Chart a child's path with less stress and more optimization for healthy habits and future success' Time

From age 5 to 12, parenting decisions get more complicated and have lasting consequences. What's the right kind of school? Should they play a sport? When's the right time for a phone?

Making these decisions is less about finding the specific answer and more about taking the right approach. Along with these bigger questions, Oster investigates how to navigate the complexity of day-to-day family logistics. The Family Firm is a smart and winning guide to how to think more clearly - and with less ambient stress - about the key decisions of these early years.
