Ned Johnson Knihy

Všichni rodiče chtějí pro své děti to nejlepší a usilují o jejich štěstí a spokojenost. Avšak při snaze dosáhnout těchto cílů se často uchylují k mylným předpokladům. Například, že úspěch je možný pouze na úzké stezce, nebo že úspěch ve škole je klíčový pro budoucí život. Další mylný předpoklad tvrdí, že větší zátěž na děti je posune k úspěchu, a že svět je nebezpečnější, což vyžaduje neustálý dohled nad dětmi. Mnozí rodiče instinktivně cítí, že tyto předpoklady nejsou správné, ale pod tlakem okolí se snaží zajistit, aby jejich děti nezůstaly pozadu. Tento tlak vede k nárůstu úzkostných a demotivovaných dětí. Autoři, klinický neuropsycholog a odborník na testování, se zaměřují na minimalizaci stresu a podporu zdravé míry sebemotivace u dětí. Kniha nabízí poznatky z neurovědy a vývojové psychologie, které ukazují, že je výhodnější fungovat jako konzultant než jako autoritativní rodič. Nabízí rady, jak pomoci dětem najít vnitřní motivaci, jak komunikovat se školou, a jak rozumně používat technologie. Důležité je vytvořit doma pohodové prostředí a poskytnout dětem zdravou míru autonomie, což je klíčové pro jejich rozvoj a štěstí.
