The Nurture Assumption

Book •

In 'The Nurture Assumption', Judith Rich Harris challenges the conventional wisdom that parents are the primary influence on child development.

Instead, she posits that children's peers play a more significant role in shaping their behavior and personality.

The book offers a compelling argument that reevaluates the traditional understanding of parental influence and highlights the importance of peer relationships in child development.
