No punishment, bribes, or consequences. Is it possible to parent this way? Won’t the kids turn out demanding and naughty? How will they learn about the real world? How will they learn to do what is right?In a time when society tells us to punish and manipulate our children in order to get them to conform, treating children with respect, and honouring their natural needs, is a foreign concept.Packed full of the very latest research, Scott delivers a timely message about the importance of nurturing using progressive parenting, and urges us that society has no more urgent task.This book is a complete reversal of the parenting wisdom millions have known and followed for decades. It shows parents that they can raise healthy, happy, responsible kids without resorting to coercive parenting methods, and provides them with clarity about what to do instead.Whilst other parenting manuals focus on training or moulding children into compliance, the Progressive Parenting approach focuses on looking behind children’s behaviour, meeting needs, and ultimately moving closer to connection and away from control.
