NurtureShock
NurtureShock: New Thinking About Children | Po Bronson, Ashley Merryman
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.

I was already familiar with many of the studies outlined in this book, but the authors connect and analyze them in a creative and interesting way. Unfortunately, the conclusion is that children are contradictory and in many ways still a mystery to the adult mind. A very interesting and quick read.

It's certainly an interesting read and debunks a lot of myths and things that feel right but just don't work. It's a great book for parents or people who work with kids.

Interesting book about all sorts of fallacies we take as fact when dealing with children and teenagers.

"To be effective, researchers have found, conversations about race have to be explicit, in unmistakable terms that children understand."
