Story
In The Gardener and the Carpenter, pioneering developmental psychologist and philosopher Alison Gopnik argues that the familiar 21st-century picture of parents and children is profoundly wrong - it's not just based on bad science, it's bad for kids and parents, too. Drawing on the study of human evolution and her own cutting-edge scientific research into how children learn, Gopnik shows that although caring for children is profoundly important, it is not a matter of shaping them to turn out a particular way.

Publisher's Summary
This exciting book by three pioneers in the field of cognitive science discusses important discoveries about how much babies and young children know and learn, and how much parents naturally teach them. It argues that evolution designed us both to teach and learn, and that the drive to learn is our most important instinct. It also reveals fascinating insights about our adult capacities and how even young children - as well as adults - use some of the same methods that allow scientists to learn so much about the world. Filled with surprise at every turn, this vivid, lucid, and often funny book gives us a new view of the inner life of children and the mysteries of the mind.

Great book
I really like the insights into developmental psychology this book provided for baby and child minds. They were fantastic and engagingly explained.
I do disagree with their political suggestions at the end, as I think there are many issues with public institutions and the last thing we need is more of them. I would prefer if the authors had avoided politics and stuck to their areas of expertise, as I wasn’t expecting it in the book. I do however look forward to applying the dev psych info with how I raise my son :)
