Babble.com is the brainchild of the creators of Nerve.com, and has fast become the biggest name in parenting media. From their incredibly popular Bad Parent column comes a breakthrough anthology: a collection of brutally honest, eye-opening tales of imperfect parenting from a host of acclaimed writers and real parents alike. For any parent who has contemplated tossing their kid's artwork, bribed their tots with candy, decided not to breastfeed or breastfed 'too long,' these essays are both candid and cathartic. Dirt is Good for You reveals the age-old truth that, despite our imperfections, our kids are growing up just fine. And they still love us.
