«Manual para padres quisquillosos» is the popular science essay by Ken Jennings, published by Editorial Ariel in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
The book examines a hundred warnings and beliefs that parents repeat to their children, from going cross-eyed by squinting to the dangers of the microwave, and contrasts them with science to see whether popular wisdom is rigorous or just nonsense. It does so with a humorous tone and brief explanations.
Subtitled «La verdad tras los mitos, leyendas y advertencias que se pasan de padres a hijos», it is part of the Claves collection. Translated by Juanjo Estrella; edition published in 2013.
Aimed at parents who want to clear up doubts about those warnings, and at children who always considered them nonsense.
