An eye-opening guide to the world's best parenting strategies

Research reveals that American kids lag behind in academic achievement, happiness, and wellness. Christine Gross-Loh exposes culturally determined norms we have about "good parenting," and asks, Are there parenting strategies other countries are getting right that we are not?

This book takes us across the globe and examines how parents successfully foster resilience, creativity, independence, and academic excellence in their children. Illuminating the surprising ways in which culture shapes our parenting practices, Gross-Loh offers objective, research-based insight such as:

  • Co-sleeping may promote independence in kids.
  • "Hoverparenting" can damage a child's resilience.
  • Finnish children, who rank among the highest academic achievers, enjoy multiple recesses a day.
  • Our obsession with self-esteem may limit a child's potential.

loved this book! it was so beautiful learning the diffrent ways cultures parent! my favorite part was learning the diffrent ways of schooling. In the process of listening to this book to potentially brighten my children futures, I myself took lessons and learned about my way of upbringing.
The reason for the 4 star is because I felt it was biased twords japanese upbringing and sort of comparing it to American. I could be wrong, it's just a loose opinion I formed.
but ether way the japanese upbringing is beautiful and I've learn alot from it :).
great book, I would for sure recommend 100%

This was a tough listen because the narrator speaks softly and "breathy". I enjoyed the book, but not the narration.
