The 5s techniques really work, and made our first three weeks (so far) way
more enjoyable than other parents described. Glad I had this book at hand
ahead of time. I watched the video first, and it's a great guide to
understand how exactly to apply the techniques in practice. I still learned
a lot more after reading the book. Thanks Dr. Karp!
