Matt Crawford speaks with author Dr. Andrew Bomback about his book, Long Days, Short Years: A Cultural History of Modern Parenting. When did parenting become a verb? How do most of us learn to be parents? Normally we follow what we felt worked and didn't from our parents. Not a "how to" book but Bomback tells us what works and what doesn't work for him while being open and honest about his own mistakes. Aptly timed right after the pandemic I believe this is a book all parents could relate to and find something useful from.
