The Over-Scheduled Child: Avoiding the Hyper-Parenting Trap de Alvin Rosenfeld

The Over-Scheduled Child: Avoiding the Hyper-Parenting Trap

Autor Alvin Rosenfeld, Nicole Wise Robert Coles
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2001
Do you find yourself asking "Whose life is it anyway?" Parenting today has come to resemble a relentless to-do list. Even parents with the best intentions strive to micro-manage every detail of their kids' lives and live in constant fear that their child will under-perform in any area--academic, social, athletic. Lists and schedules, meetings and appointments invade our every moment and the need to be the best dominates--and undermines--our own sense of self as well as our children's. In this groundbreaking new book, renowed child psychiatrist Alvin Rosenfeld, M.D., and longtime family-issues journalist Nicole Wise combine personal and professional experience to take action against what they see as our overeager pursuit of perfection. The clear, comforting steps they prescribe to attack this rampant phenomenon will promote healthier and happier children and revitalize the parenting experience.

Recenzii

"An excellent book which should be read by every thinking parent. We don't have to over-schedule our children to help them succeed. Ironically, they are probably better off if we don't." --"The Times "(London)"This book will convince today's overly stressed, harried parents--working too diligently but without joy or spontaneity--to stop striving for perfection and renew their faith in their own loving instincts." --Nancy Samalin, M.S., author of "Loving Your Child is Not Enough" and director and parent education or Parent Guidance Workshops in New York City"["The Over-Scheduled Child"] sends an urgently needed message to today's parents, who are constantly feeling pressured to achieve and who, in turn, are constantly pressuring their children to reach for more. It is a plea that parents everywhere should heed." --Lawrence Balter Ph.D, Professor of Applied Psychology, New York University and author of" Who's in Control?: Dr. Balter's Guide to Discipline Without Combat""A wonderfully informative and restorative read for all parents." --Kyle Pruett, M.D., author of" Fatherneed: Why Father Care is as Essential as Mother Care for Your Child"
