Description
A compelling story of American parenting, marriage, and education from a father dedicated to political equality and the equality of gender and generations. Never a manual - always the narration of a personal journey to get the most important things right.
Sherry Turkle, MIT Professor.Parenting without Punishment is a partisan argument on behalf of democratizing childrearing. Greer argues that zero-punishment parenting is a more humane and effective approach for raising children to become self-disciplined, morally decent, creative and responsible citizens. He builds the case based on his own family experiences as a child and a parent and his studies of historical theories of childrearing and contemporary studies of child development.
