In A Bula de Cada Criança (“Every Child's Own Manual”), pediatrician Roberto Cooper brings together nearly 40 texts around one central idea: there is no universal formula for raising children — each child comes with their own “manual,” and it is up to parents to decipher it.

With light, objective and good-humored texts, the book embraces the insecurity created by the flood of information about each stage of child development and proposes a path of confidence, patience and creativity. As the author sums up: “confident parents tend to raise more secure and independent children”.

In a world where corporate values have invaded private life — families planning their holidays by cost-benefit or choosing a school for its college-exam pass rates —, the book argues for a more affectionate family, based on respect and on the pleasure of the encounter between parents and children. These are reflections on babies' behavior, feeding and the concerns of each stage, always aimed at helping parents gain more autonomy in everyday life.
