Renowned child psychologist and New York Times bestselling author
of Lost at School and The Explosive Child explains how to cultivate
a better parent-child relationship while also nurturing empathy,
honesty, resilience, and independence. Parents have an important
task: figure out who their child is-his or her skills, preferences,
beliefs, values, personality traits, goals, and direction-get
comfortable with it, and then help them pursue and live a life
according to it. Yet parents also want their kids to be
independent, but not if they are going to make bad choices. They
want to avoid being too overbearing, but not if an apathetic kid is
what they have to show for it. They want to have a good
relationship with their kids, but not if that means being a
pushover. They don't want to scream, but they do want to be heard.
Good parenting is about striking the balance between a child's
characteristics and a parent's desire to have influence. Dr. Ross
Greene "makes a powerful case for rethinking typical approaches to
parenting and disciplining children" (The Atlantic). Through his
well-known model of solving problems collaboratively, parents can
forgo timeout and sticker charts; stop badgering, berating,
threatening, and punishing; allow their kids to feel heard and
validated; and have influence. From homework to hygiene, curfews,
to screen time, Dr. Greene "arms parents with guidelines that are
clear, doable, and sure to empower both parents and their children"
(Adele Faber, coauthor of How to Talk So Kids Will Listen). Raising
Human Beings is "inspirational...a game-changer for parents,
teachers, and other caregivers. Its advice is reasonable and
empathetic, and readers will feel ready to start creating a better
relationship with the children in their lives" (Publishers Weekly,
starred review).
