5.0 out of 5 stars Many years of data, December 23, 2002
By 
Susan Blatt (New Hartford, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Overcoming the Odds: High Risk Children from Birth to Adulthood (Paperback)
The Kauai study of children born in 1955 is famous. These investigators bring to life the enormous amount of data that they have gathered, since that time. They also propose changes in the way we raise our children, based on their data.
