Parenting Without Borders: Surprising Lessons Parents Around the World Can Teach Us

A global rethink of raising resilient kids

This is a refreshing read for parents who feel boxed in by modern parenting pressure. Christine Gross-Loh draws on research and real cultural practices from around the world to show that there isn’t just one right way to raise confident, capable children. It feels eye-opening and reassuring at once, especially if you like practical ideas that challenge familiar assumptions without sounding preachy.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

An eye-opening guide to the world’s best parenting strategies. Research reveals that American kids lag behind in academic achievement, happiness, and wellness. Christine Gross-Loh examines culturally determined norms about “good parenting” and asks whether there are parenting strategies from other countries that we are missing. This book takes us across the globe and examines how parents successfully foster resilience, creativity, independence, and academic excellence in their children. Illuminating the surprising ways culture shapes our parenting practices, Gross-Loh offers objective, research-based insights such as: co-sleeping may promote independence in kids; hoverparenting can damage a child’s resilience; Finnish children, who rank among the highest academic achievers, enjoy multiple recesses a day; and our obsession with self-esteem may limit a child’s potential.
