Unconditional Parenting

Moving From Rewards And Punishment To Love And Reason

BY ALFIE KOHN

Brief Description:
Most parenting guides begin with the question "How can we get kids to do what they're told?" and then proceed to offer various techniques for controlling them. Educator Alfie Kohn asks, "What do kids need -- and how can we meet those needs?" What follows from that question are ideas for working with children rather than doing things to them. Unconditional Parenting addresses the ways parents think about, feel about, and act with their children. It invites them to question their most basic assumptions about raising kids while offering a wealth of practical strategies for shifting from "doing to" to "working with" parenting.
