Items related to Nurtureshock: Why Everything We Thought About Children...
What if we told you...
that dishonesty in children is a positive trait
that arguing in front of your kids can make you a good role model
and that if you praise your children you risk making them fail
...and it was all true?
Using a cutting-edge combination of behavioural psychology and neuroscience, award-winning journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman have produced an innovative, counter-intuitive read that will change the way we interact with our children forever.
They demonstrate that for years our best intentions with children have been our worst ideas, using break-through scientific studies to prove that our instincts and received wisdom are all wrong. Nurtureshock is the Freakonomics of childhood and adolescence, exploring logic-defying insights into child development that have far-reaching relevance for us all.

"A wake-up call for parents... the Freakonomics of child-rearing... a fantastic read" (Good Morning America)
"The least touchy-feely [parenting book] ever... hard to put down and easy to take seriously." (A.V. Club,The Onion)
