One of the most influential books about children ever published,
NurtureShock offers a revolutionary new perspective on children
that upends a library's worth of conventional wisdom. With
impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, the authors
demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing
children are in fact backfiring--because key twists in the science
have been overlooked. Nothing like a parenting manual, NurtureShock
gets to the core of how we grow, learn and live.
Released in hardcover in September 2009, NurtureShock remained on
the New York Times best seller list for three months, and was one
of Amazon's best selling books for 2009. The book has become a
worldwide phenomenon with editions published around the world - in
fifteen languages, to date.
In addition to Bronson and Merryman's writings on praise -- first
made famous in "New York "magazine -- there are nine more equally
groundbreaking chapters. Among the topics covered:
Why the most brutal person in a child's life is often a sibling,
and how a single aspect of their preschool-aged play can determine
their relationship as adults.
When is it too soon - or too late - to teach a child about race?
Children in diverse schools are less likely to have a cross-racial
friendship, not more - so is school diversity backfiring?
Millions of families are fighting to get their kids into private
schools and advanced programs as early as possible. But schools are
missing the best kids, 73% of the time - the new neuroscience
explains why.
Why are kids - even those from the best of homes - still aggressive
and cruel? The answer is found in a rethinking of parental
conflict, discipline, television's unexpected influence, and social
dominance.
Parents are desperate to jump-start infants' language skills.
Recently, scientists have discovered a series of natural techniques
that are astonishing in their efficacy - it's not baby videos, sign
language, or even the richness of language exposure. It's nothing
you've heard before.
