Unconditional Parenting

Unconditional Parenting Book Explanation Most parenting books are "How do we make kids listen?" begins with the question and discusses ways to make them obey. In this truly groundbreaking book, Alfie Kohn says, “What do children need and how do we meet those needs?” He asks the question and explains methods aimed at working with children towards a healthy psychological development. The basic need of every child is to be loved unconditionally and to know that they will be accepted as they are, even if they are inadequate or fail. But the message that traditional parenting approaches, namely punishments (smack, satire, "break", etc.), rewards (praise, positive reinforcement, etc.), and other control methods give the child, is that they will receive love only if they please or affect us. In fact, most parents do not intend to send this message, but that's exactly the impression formed in the child's mind. Kohn, on the other hand, presents the devastating effects of creating the impression in question, with a large body of research that he has carefully analyzed. On the other hand, this book is not just a work of discipline. It also examines how adults treat children, what they think and feel about them, and invites parents to question basic assumptions about raising children. It also offers realistic strategies to use in giving children the unconditional support they need in order to abandon the techniques of doing and shift to the techniques of working with children, in other words, to become caring and responsible people. Examining parenting from a whole new angle, this book will reconnect parents with their highest instincts and inspire them from different directions in their efforts to parent their children even better.
