“Under Pressure is a Godsend! Full of common sense advice...” - Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of The Wisdom of Menopause
“Honoré presents a list of ways in which parents all over the developed world have long been robbing their children of their childhoods by inserting themselves into every facet of their children’s lives. . . . Joining a crowded field of child-rearing books, this is an excellent choice.” - Library Journal
