One of the most influential books about children ever published, NurtureShock offers a revolutionary new perspective on children that upends a library's worth of conventional wisdom. With impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, the authors demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing children are in fact backfiring--because key twists in the science have been overlooked. Nothing like a parenting manual, NurtureShock gets to the core of how we grow, learn and live.
Released in hardcover in September 2009, NurtureShock remained on the New York Times best seller list for three months, and was one of Amazon's best selling books for 2009. The book has become a worldwide phenomenon with editions published around the world - in fifteen languages, to date.
In addition to Bronson and Merryman's writings on praise -- first made famous in New York magazine -- there are nine more equally groundbreaking chapters. Among the topics covered:
Why the most brutal person in a child's life is often a sibling, and how a single aspect of their preschool-aged play can determine their relationship as adults.
When is it too soon - or too late - to teach a child about race? Children in diverse schools are less likely to have a cross-racial friendship, not more - so is school diversity backfiring?
Millions of families are fighting to get their kids into private schools and advanced programs as early as possible. But schools are missing the best kids, 73% of the time - the new neuroscience explains why.
Why are kids - even those from the best of homes - still aggressive and cruel? The answer is found in a rethinking of parental conflict, discipline, television's unexpected influence, and social dominance.
Parents are desperate to jump-start infants' language skills. Recently, scientists have discovered a series of natural techniques that are astonishing in their efficacy - it's not baby videos, sign language, or even the richness of language exposure. It's nothing you've heard before.

我非常喜欢这本书的风格,但是这本书的硬伤也很明显。它的优点是简明、通俗、主题突出、论据权威。但问题在于书中的教养关键词及案例的选择过于美国化,在中国(以及其他国家)的适用性偏低了。如平等(种族歧视方面的),在多元化的美国可能是个比较大的问题,但是中国基本没...
评分自认为读了很多育儿书籍,看了很多书中的案例,对于一些常见的问题都能轻松应对,可是当我看到《关键教养报告》之后,我对自己的自以为是有所察觉,原来育儿实在是一件太复杂的事情,很多育儿知识都是想当然认为,而没有严谨的科学态度,虽然育儿并不一定要像一些科技领域那样...
评分我不想在过多的场合听到中国这俩个字,尤其是在做科学研究,学术探讨时!“我们中国人....”" 中国特色的...""在中国的国情文化里..."这样的字眼是对所有的不作为放纵,容许给普世的正义打折扣!在这个地方我们已经看到了太多扭曲了的人性!我们就是人类,跟生活在中国以外的地...
评分真的郁闷,打了那么多字的书评,又一次再电脑崩溃中消失殆尽,其实我真的有及时存自己文档的习惯,但是还是失误了。真是无奈。 言归正传。 这是我少有的给一本书打五分,写了这么多书评,但是给五分的几乎没有,事情总是不完美的。不过如果说到人的心里,那就是完美的了。 看过...
评分礼仪之邦的中国,自古至今都本能地崇尚着教育;与日俱增的国际交流,无时无刻地提醒着世人推崇教育。父母对于孩子的教养问题越来越多的被放到了重要的地位;学校与教师对于孩子的教育问题也越来越多地引起社会的关注。 “学然后知不足,教然后知困。”教养问题不断地被放置在...
