Essential reads for new parents?
(lemmy.world)
A place to talk about parenting.
Be respectful of others' parenting decisions.
I get your point, and there are certainly tons of books that falsely claim to have a magic method. But if anything, a sweeping generalization about books seems too stiff.
We had read a wide variety of books when we got our daughter and most tips and advice fell in two categories: "this is dumb, I'd never try this" and "yeah, no shit Sherlock". I don't say, there are no good books out there, I just say, there are much more ... not so good ones. And picking up bad advice from a bad book more likely than the other way round.
