Mehr zum Buch

Radical Parenting synthesizes the groundbreaking concepts from psychotherapist Brad Blanton's previous works, including Radical Honesty and Honest to God. The author shares his personal experiences with his own children, alongside insights gained from years of helping individuals navigate the impact of their upbringing. This book establishes a new framework for parenting aimed at those who wish to rise above the constraints of their familial and cultural backgrounds. Drawing from decades of experience with numerous families and the latest scientific research in brain physiology, cognitive theory, and psychological development, it guides parents toward conscious parenting. The objective is to help them avoid perpetuating the same limitations they faced in their own childhoods. The book delves into the intricacies of how human minds are formed, function, and sometimes malfunction. It offers practical advice for engaging with children from infancy onward and emphasizes the importance of fostering a nurturing environment that encourages playfulness and curiosity as they grow into adulthood. Additionally, it critiques cultural norms that obscure our understanding of how we inadvertently recreate cycles of suffering.
