21st-Century Parenting Book Reviewed, Picked as Book-of-the-Month

The new book by parenting educator Debra Haffner, What Every 21st-Century Parent Needs to Know, is reviewed in the latest issue of Publishers Weekly (April 7, 2008).

The magazine writes:
"Haffner (From Diapers to Dating), an ordained Unitarian minister, isn't afraid to tackle the big questions, including drinking, drugs and teen sex. But while Haffner 'tells it like it is,' she also presents the research and statistics to prove that many of parents' worst fears are unfounded... [She] covers a great deal of ground in this compact book; readers will appreciate her just-the-facts-please approach as well as her tendency to interpret the stats from the bright side."
