An award-winning scientist offers his unorthodox approach to childrearing: Parentology is brilliant, jaw-droppingly funny, and full of wisdombound to change your thinking about parenting and its conventions (Amy Chua, author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother).If youre like many parents, you might ask family and friends for advice when faced with important choices about how to raise your kids. You might turn to parenting books or simply rely on timeworn religious or cultural traditions. But when Dalton Conley, a dual-doctorate scientist and full-blown nerd, needed childrearing advice, he turned to scientific research to make the big decisions. In Parentology, Conley hilariously reports the results of those experiments, from bribing his kids to do math (since studies show conditional cash transfers improved educational and health outcomes for kids) to teaching them impulse control by giving them weird names (because evidence shows kids with unique names learn not to react when their peers tease them) to getting a vasectomy (because fewer kids in a family mean smarter kids). Conley encourages parents to draw on the latest data to rear children, if only because that level of engagement with kids will produce solid and happy ones. Ultimately these experiments are very loving, and the outcomes are redemptiveeven when Conleys sassy kids show him the limits of his profession. Parentology teaches you everything you need to know about the latest literature on parentingwith lessons that go down easy. Youll be laughing and learning at the same time.
