Unconditional Parenting

Challenges the conventional wisdom of raising children. This book expands upon the theme of what's wrong with our society's emphasis on punishments and rewards with regards raising children. It insists that "controlling parents" are actually conveying to their kids that they love them conditionally, that is, only when they achieve or behave.

Description

The author of Punished by Rewards and The Schools Our Children Deserve returns with a provocative challenge to the conventional ways of raising children. Kohn argues that all children have the need to be loved unconditionally, yet conventional approaches to parenting, such as punishment and reward, teach children that they are loved only when they please and impress parents.

Kohn cites powerful research detailing the damage this can cause. Unconditional Parenting pushes parents to question their ideas of parenting and offers practical solutions to problems.
