A parenting book I might read

David Bjorkland, "Why Youth Is Not Wasted on the Young: Immaturity in Human Development." ($74.95---YIKES!!!) Bjorkland is an evolutionary developmental biologist, my missed calling in life.

Also from Bjorkland: "Origins of the Social Mind: Evolutionary Psychology and Child Development" ($60---what is with this series?) and "Origins of Human Nature: Evolutionary Developmental Psychology" ($28.80, this one I can afford.)
