Review
Few elements of parenting are as fraught with anxiety as child care. Eva and Mon Cochran's Child Care That Works explodes the myth that child care is bad or harmful for a child, and then provides answers and advice for all of the issues parents have regarding quality child care. The Cochrans include details about the where and how of it, including types of child care available, what specific questions to ask when searching for a child-care provider, how to be assertive and persistent, tips for easing separation anxiety, and ways to finance quality child care. The book also includes an excellent directory of resources.
