The forgotten art of parenting
When Mikaleen became a mother, she devoured all the books on child rearing, but the recommended techniques proved ineffective. Not for the wayward and young daughter. However, when he visits a Mayan village on the Yucatan Peninsula; comes across parents who raise their children in a radically different way, and the result is astonishing. Their children are incredibly kind, noble and helpful, without yelling, threatening or punishing. How does this happen?
Дюклеф, заедно с тригодишната си дъщеря, посещава три от най-древните общества на света: маите в Мексико, инуитите отвъд Северния полярен кръг и хадзапите в Танзания, за да научи и усвои техните родителски стратегии. Тя забелязва, че тези общества нямат проблемите на западните родители.
Те изграждат коренно различни взаимоотношения с децата си, основани на взаимопомощ, а не на контрол, на доверие, вместо на страх, и съобразени с индивидуалните потребности, вместо с унифицирани критерии за детско развитие. Маите са майстори във възпитанието на отзивчиви деца, инуитите отглеждат емоционално интелигентни деца, а хадзапите са експерти в това да възпитават самоуверени и мотивирани деца.
Mikaleen not only lives alongside these families, but applies their parenting skills to her own daughter with astounding success. Packed with practical ideas, The Forgotten Art of Parenting will help us rethink the ways we communicate with our children to raise emotionally intelligent, confident, and responsive children.
