Because I Said So!: The Truth Behind the Myths, Tales, and Warnings Every Generation Passes Down to Its Kids
- Used Book in Good Condition
â€œKen Jennings reveals the truth behind all those things you tell your childrenâ€ (Parade) in this entertaining and useful New York Times bestseller â€œarmed with case histories, scientific finds, and experiments on himself and his own childrenâ€ (Los Angeles Times).

Is any of it true? If so, how true? Ken Jennings wants to find out if parents always know best. Yes, all those years you were told not to sit too close to the television or swallow your gum or crack your knuckles are called into question by our countryâ€™s leading trivia guru. Jennings separates myth from fact to debunk a wide variety of parental edicts: no swimming after meals, sit up straight, donâ€™t talk to strangers, and so on.

Armed with medical case histories, scientific findings, and even the occasional experiment on himself (or his kids), Jennings exposes countless examples of parental wisdom run amok. Whether youâ€™re a parent plagued by needless concern or a kid (of any age) looking to say, â€œI told you so,â€ this is the antiâ€“ helicopter parenting book youâ€™ve been waiting for.
