Synopsis

Children do not need perfect parents. They need present ones, and a village that holds them all.

For more than fifty years, Dr. Thom E Lobe has cared for children and the families who love them. In PARENTING: A Prescription for the Modern Family, he brings together what the science of child development now shows and what thousands of families have taught him at the bedside, in a warm, practical guide for every kind of family.

Inside you will learn:

• How a baby's brain is built, and why a father's (or second caregiver's) early, hands-on involvement matters so much

• Healthy development stage by stage, from the first year through adolescence, including sleep, food, movement, screens, safety, and when to worry

• Communication that works: listening, emotion coaching, discipline that teaches, and the hard conversations every family faces

• Stress and calming skills for children, and for parents' own nervous systems

• Shared parenting across one home or two, plus dedicated chapters on raising a healthy child as a single parent and with same-sex parents

• Why grandparents matter: their role in child development, updated safety guidance for grandparents, bridging generational differences, and support for grandparents raising grandchildren

• Raising children across cultures, languages, and faiths in today's diverse nation

• Growing up digital: social media, gaming, and artificial intelligence

• Building the village: how families, schools, clinics, workplaces, and communities can surround children with support

Every chapter has real stories from the exam room (details changed to protect privacy), simple "Try This" exercises, key points, and further reading from trusted sources. Appendices include a milestone guide, a calming toolkit, a shared-parenting and village planning worksheet, and questions to bring to your child's doctor.

Whether you are expecting your first baby, coparenting across two homes, raising a child on your own, or helping raise a grandchild, this book offers a physician's lifetime of wisdom, and the reassurance that you do not have to do this alone.
