In this ground-breaking book, Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff looks back to
our ancestors for solutions to our failing modern-day parenting
theories. When Dr Michaeleen Doucleff became a mother, she examined
the studies behind modern parenting guidance and found that the
evidence was frustratingly limited, and the conclusions often
ineffective. She began to wonder if an opposite approach was needed
- one founded on traditional wisdom, like the knowledge and
experience passed down over hundreds, even thousands, of years
within ancient cultures. With her young daughter in tow, she
travelled across the world to observe and practice parenting
strategies alongside families in three of the world's most
venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families
above the Arctic Circle, and Hadza families in Tanzania. Dr
Doucleff soon learned that these cultures don't have the same
problems with children that Western parents do. Most strikingly,
parents build a relationship with young children that is vastly
different from the one many Western parents develop, built on
co-operation instead of control; trust instead of fear; and
personalised needs instead of standardised development milestones.
In Hunt, Gather, Parent, Doucleff introduces us to families where
parents help little ones learn to control their emotions and reduce
tantrums by the parents themselves controlling their own
frustrations; foster self-sufficiency by safely giving kids the
autonomy to manage risks and explore their limits; and motivate
children to help with chores without using bribes or threats.
Doucleff also talks to psychologists, neuroscientists,
anthropologists, and sociologists and explains how the tools and
tips can impact children's mental health and development. . Packed
with practical takeaways, Hunt, Gather, Parent helps us rethink the
ways we relate to our children, and reveals a universal parenting
paradigm adapted for modern families.
