It took me a while to navigate through the opening, I wasn't entirely sure of the premise. Presumably the title 'spoiled' is designed to entice then Dail Heil readers who will enjoy a book that moans about spoiled kids, but Dr Sigman doesn't mean that kind of spoiled. It's about neglected kids being spoiled to make up for bad parenting, I think. Having said that, once I'd got into it I found a lot of common sense. He'll get hammered for saying mothers belong at home though. I heard him on the radio once explaining how childcare for the under threes is damaging to them. The interviewer pointed out this statement was unfair to hard working parents and he exploded, 'but the purpose of this study is about what's good for children, not sating the guilt of absent parents!' or words to that effect. I like him and I liked this book.

This book is a great read and puts parents back to were they belong: in the driving seat. Lots of interesting facts and observations about modern parenting and how it is potentially damaging the next generation. If you only have time to read one parenting book, make sure it is this one. Very enlightening.

Excellent book - well worth a read; as a parent or educator. Well written, tackled with some humour, sound theory and well researched.

A Useful Corrective
Sigman's thesis is not a "politically correct" one & he clearly enjoys being provocative. He likes to rattle cages & there is plenty of cage-rattling in this book. Read more

Enlightening
I am half way through this book, and even though I completely agree with 99% of what Dr Sigman has written about, I have not found it a very easy read, as much as I had hoped... Read more
