Has anyone read the book "Nurture Shock"
It came up as a suggestion when I was perusing Amazon.com so I decided to buy it. It is taking me a while to get thru it because I don't have any time in my day to read, but it is very interesting! It discusses (among many other topics) how we as parents, are doing our children a disservice with all of the praising we do. The authors, Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman, back up their assertions with many different studies done over the years. DH and I are very interested in learning about different strategies for raising good humans since we see first hand in our jobs in law enforcement, how the youth out there are a coddled bunch of brats. After we both finish reading this book, we are planning to try these ideas out on our older kids, aged 5, 7 and 9. Just thought I'd share if anyone is interested in checking out what the authors call, "new thinking about children."
