Some readers may think his opinions are too extreme, but some of his parenting beliefs have been supported by many educators and have worldwide influence in the field of childhood education. Most of his critiques concern the fields of education, parenting, and human behavior. It is a must-read book for parents.Īlfie Kohn, the leader of The Progressive Educational Movement in America, published nine profound books about early childhood education before this one, including The Schools Our Children Deserve: Moving Beyond Traditional Classrooms and “Tougher Standards” and Punished by Reward: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise and Other Bribes, which we have talked about before. This book has been strongly recommended by many national and international education experts. He offers very clear explanations of the concepts of unconditional parenting.
His theories are based on lots of scientific research, and his critiques are incisive while also maintaining a sense of humor and providing easy-to-understand material. To answer those questions, Alfie Kohn, a famous childhood education expert in the US, who is also a father of two children, wrote the book Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason. Thus, the questions arise: How can we raise an outstanding child? What kind of parenting methods are truly effective? However, those "effective ways" may only be effective in the short-term and can soon become useless, which means that the screaming and yelling continue. Therefore, parents do the best they can and rely on so-called "effective ways" to deal with children that are often spread by other parents. The process of raising a child brings endless challenges for parents. It is true, there is no child who is born "well behaved." Every child has their own personality.
We often hear parents lament about how difficult it is to raise a child.
Today, we will be exploring the book Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason.
