October 2007:
Ashley and I have a new article in New York magazine that will surely make you
think when you're putting your child to bed. It's the science of how sleep makes your
child smarter, and thinner. Despite all the effort of modern parents to parent
consciously, and correctly, we have overlooked the fact that we've stolen an hour of their
sleep time over the last thirty years. This "Lost Hour" appears to have major
consequences on their cognitive performance, academic record, emotional stablity, and rate
of obesity. Read the main
article here, and then read
the follow-up story here (the coolest tips to falling asleep you've ever read). You
can also follow the story on our blog, with
more in-depth analysis and media updates as the story breaks.
Major
news! Next book project!
June 2007:
Following on the whopping success of our article for New York magazine on the
science of praise, I am working with Ashley Merryman on a new book based on
counterintuitive findings from the science of parenting. It turns out that many of our
common assumptions are plum wrong. This is not a parenting manual; rather, it's an
intellectual journey through some fascinating science. It will appeal to parents and
non-parents alike.
I invite
you to get a preview of the book and to take a survey, simultaneously. It's fun and
interesting. Click
here to take the survey.
If you are
interested in the book and want to be notified when it comes out, please join my mail list. This is a 100% private list seen only by
me, shared with noone else.
The book will be published by Twelve
Publishers, with my longtime editor Jon Karp. They're not, actually, twelve different
publishers, banded together. It's one publisher, doing twelve big books a year.
If you want to see
our story on the science of praising kids for New York Magazine, you can read it here.
If you were wondering why I hadn't updated my site in a while, now
you know - I was off getting this book started. Sorry, and welcome back!
