Книги о воспитании часто грешат тем, что описывают техники без объяснений, почему они будут работать. Вот эта книга делает наоборот, так обстоятельно и понятно говорит о теории привязанности, что поняв эту основу, родитель сам может складывать свои собственные педагогические приемы, как конструктор. При этом ньюфелдовские техники в ней тоже есть. В общем, очень информационно емкая книга по теории привязанности. Много и теории, и практических примеров без эмоционального алармизма, который я увидела в «не отпускайте своих детей» Ньюфелда.

I really like the ideas in this book, but the writing style is not for me. Too academic and sprawling. I'm not sure I would recommend this to a parent struggling and looking for advice because it's kind of hard to get through. But I think it's a great book for early childhood professionals and for parents who have time and energy to take in and digest the big ideas. For the parent in distress, maybe [b:Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids: How to Stop Yelling and Start Connecting|13542640|Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids How to Stop Yelling and Start Connecting|Laura Markham|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1355821687s/13542640.jpg|19106929] would work.
So, this is based on attachment parenting philosophy. I read the Dr. Sears attachment parenting book when I was pregnant and I'm mostly on board with it. It just makes sense to me intuitively that your main job as a parent is to love your child unconditionally and, on top of that, to make sure your child knows and feels that they are loved unconditionally.
Should you be angry at a child for acting like a child? Of course not. But does it happen? Uh, duh. So it seems like the whole point of this book is to get you to accept that your child will be immature until they are not. There's no point in trying to rush them through their natural development. Around the age of 5-7 most children will make a huge leap in development that will allow them to make better choices through reasoning and self-control. Until then, it's not exactly fair to expect preschoolers to conduct themselves like tiny adults.
There are parts of this book where Dr. MacNamara comes across as anti-learning in early childhood. She says "academics" are encroaching on play time much to the detriment of children. I agree and disagree at the same time. Early learning and play are both super important. Young children certainly do not benefit from worksheets or drills. At the same time, parents and early childhood educators can introduce literacy, science, and math concepts in fun and interesting ways. Preschoolers are naturally curious -- we can foster that curiosity and guide their learning while being mindful that they are not ready for formal instruction, tests, and the like.

Meh. I lost steam on this on. I was hoping for more practical applications than theoretical. That doesn’t mean I’m not passing this on to friends though. Information and ideas are worth something.
