NurtureShock: New Thinking about Children - Paperback

by Po Bronson (Author), Ashley Merryman (Author)
A groundbreaking book that will change the way you view parenting.
In a world of modern, involved, caring parents, why are so many kids aggressive and cruel? Where is intelligence hidden in the brain, and why does that matter? Why do interracial friendships decrease in schools that are more integrated? If 98% of kids think lying is morally wrong, then why do 98% of kids lie? What's the single most important thing that helps infants learn language? NurtureShock is a groundbreaking collaboration between award-winning science journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman. They argue that when it comes to children, we've mistaken good intentions for good ideas. With impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, they 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 typical parenting manual, the authors' work is an insightful exploration of themes and issues that transcend children's (and adults') lives.Author Biography
