Publisher Summary
 

In a world of modern, involved, caring parents, why are so many kids aggressive and cruel? Where is intelligence hidden in the brain, and why does that matter? Why do cross-racial friendships decrease in schools that are more integrated? If 98% of kids think lying is morally wrong, then why do 98% of kids lie? What's the single most important thing that helps infants learn language?

NurtureShock is a groundbreaking collaboration between award-winning science journalists Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman. They argue that when it comes to children, we've mistaken good intentions for good ideas. With impeccable storytelling and razor-sharp analysis, they demonstrate that many of modern society's strategies for nurturing children are in fact backfiring - because key twists in the science have been overlooked.

Nothing like a parenting manual, the authors' work is an insightful exploration of themes and issues that transcend children's (and adults') lives.

Review by Corinna from The United States | 5/21/2011

maybe i gave this 4 stars since i've seen much of the authors' discovery's in my own family's behaviors. clearly defined, well written, fairly easy read. i liked that there seemed to be an actual desire to understand rather than support a specific outlook or study.

Review by Ann Marie from Fairfax, VA | 5/9/2011

This is very thought provoking. I still haven't fully processed my thoughts. I think it would require several readings to absorb it all.
