Nurtureshock will change the way you think about and raise your kids. Looking outside the box instead of within, Nurtureshock brings to light tings that are right in front of our noses. As the mother of two teenagers, I found the chapter on teen rebellion especially interesting. If you have more than one child and they fight and argue (and they will), there is a chapter about that too.

You don't need to be a parent to read this book. You had parents and the way things were done in the past is almost a distant memory. With technology these days, kids are subjected to all sorts of impressions from internet, TV, music and much more. Nurtureshock will explain why most children lie or why praising children can be harmful.

Nurtureshock is a very insightful book. Sure there are areas I agree to disagree with the authors, but that is what makes a psychology book great. There are also areas I was nodding my head in agreement. I highly recommend this book!
