NurtureShock (book)

NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children


By Po Bronson and Ashley Merriman

In a world of modern, involved, caring parents, why are so many kids aggressive and cruel?
Where is intelligence hidden in the brain, and why does that matter?
Why do cross-racial friendships decrease in schools that are more integrated?
If 98% of kids think lying is morally wrong, then why do 98% of kids lie?
What's the single most important thing that helps infants learn language?
NurtureShock is a groundbreaking collaboration between award-winning science journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman. They argue that when it comes to children, we've mistaken good intentions for good ideas.
With impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, they 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, the authors' work is an insightful exploration of themes and issues that transcend children's (and adults') lives. 336 pages. Hardcover. 2009.
