In Against Parenting, Alison Gopnik, professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and author of the "Mind and Matter" column in the Wall Street Journal, questions the meaning of good parenting.
The correct upbringing of our children is part of our responsibility in the world we live in. However, what we refer to as parenting and raising children is a new and surprising invention. In the last thirty years, the concept of parenting And the multi-billion dollar industry surrounding it has turned child care and upbringing into a sensitive, managed, goal-oriented endeavor aimed at creating a certain kind of child, and thus a certain kind of adult.
In Against Parenting, Alison Gopnik argues that the 21st-century image of parents and children is completely wrong. Through her study of human evolution and her ground-breaking scientific research on how children learn, Gopnik shows that although childcare And upbringing are very important, shaping them to make children what the parents want is not important. Children are made to do dirty work and perform unpredictable behavior, playfulness, and imagination. But these behaviors are possible. It can be considered a challenge for parents, while it is only a simple difference.
