More about this item

Nutureshock

Po Bronson, Ashley Merryman

Grand Central Publishing


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.
